Commisso's Food Markets

At its peak, Commisso's operated a wholesale business and distribution centre, six cash and carry outlets, and 16 supermarkets across the Niagara and Hamilton areas, where its commitment to "quality products, friendly people and low prices" proved very popular.

On December 3, 2003, Sobeys announced that it had entered into an agreement to purchase all of the company's assets[1] and a deal was finalized on February 3, 2004.

In 1962, Mike Commisso, a local foundry worker, opened a 20 by 80-foot (24 m) family grocery store in Beamsville, Ontario.

In 2000, Commisso's bought Lanzarotta Wholesale Grocers Limited (LWG) - a private family-owned Ontario company.

[3] At the time, LWG was one of Canada's largest, most successful independent wholesale grocers, at distribution rates of nearly 10,000 products to 7,000 retailers a week.
