M&M Food Market

Since opening its first store in Kitchener, Ontario, in 1980, M&M Food Market has been helping Canadians bring high-quality, delicious meals to their tables. The brand has grown from a single shop to Canada’s leading retailer of fine frozen foods, known for its restaurant-quality offerings, exceptional customer service, and convenient shopping experience.

Over the past four decades, M&M Food Market has become a trusted guest at dinner tables from coast to coast.

A Commitment to Real Food

M&M Food Market believes great meals start with great ingredients. The company proudly avoids artificial colours, flavours, and sweeteners in all its products, sourcing Canadian ingredients whenever possible.

More than 80% of M&M Food Market branded products are either “Made in Canada from domestic and imported ingredients” or are a true “Product of Canada,” reflecting the brand’s dedication to quality and local sourcing.

Shop In-Store, Online, or On the Go

Convenience is a core part of M&M Food Market’s promise. Customers can browse in-store, order online for same-day pickup or delivery, or find quick meal solutions at M&M Food Market Express locations in select convenience stores, pharmacies, and gas stations.

These freezers make it easy to enjoy M&M Food Market favourites anywhere, anytime.

From Meat Shops to Market Leader

Originally launched as M&M Meat Shops, the company first specialized in top-quality, flash-frozen meats unavailable in typical grocery stores. Through the 1990s and 2000s, the brand became a Canadian household name, valued for both everyday dinners and special occasions.

With the support of dedicated franchise partners, M&M Meat Shops expanded nationwide, earning multiple awards in franchising, marketing, and product excellence.

A Modern Makeover

In 2016, under new ownership, M&M Food Market transformed its stores into bright, open-concept spaces, updated its packaging, and broadened its menu to include a wide variety of appetizers, mains, sides, and desserts.

The rebrand also introduced the Real Food Promise, guaranteeing that every product meets the company’s high standards for quality and ingredient integrity.

Giving Back to Communities

In 2020, M&M Food Market marked its 40th anniversary while navigating the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The company implemented enhanced safety measures, launched curbside pickup, and improved its website for easier online ordering.

It also strengthened its community support through donations of PPE, gift cards, and food, and through its partnership with BGC Canada (formerly Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada), contributing over $400,000 in food, cash, and gift cards to children and families in need.

Moving Forward with Parkland Corporation

In 2022, M&M Food Market joined Parkland Corporation, a Canadian company that shares its vision for growth and community engagement.

With more than 320 locations nationwide and a growing M&M Food Market Express program in partnership with On The Run, the brand is poised for continued success — serving restaurant-quality food, backed by a strong loyalty program, and rooted in its proud Canadian heritage.
