Nortown Foods - 892 Eglinton Ave W - Toronto

About Us

Nortown is truly a family business. Early on, Mike's wife Agi, who was not only a driving force in the business, also worked at the store as a bookkeeper and cashier. While growing up, and going through school, all three of Mike's children worked part-time in the stores. They learned their father's work ethic by serving at the counters, stocking shelves, delivering orders, and working as cashiers. In 1982, Brian joined his dad, Mike, full-time in operating the Nortown stores. In 1990 Mike's daughter Marilyn, again encouraged by Agi, established So Delicious Inc., a manufacturer of premium prepared foods. Since then Marilyn joined the family business and now oversees the production of all Nortown prepared foods. This division now produces over 200 products. For the past few years, Mike's grandchildren, in between going to school, can also be found working in the family business. Jeff, Mike's eldest son, delivered customer orders while studying law. He went on to run his own successful law practice.

More than fifty years later, the company is still being operated with the same underlying philosophy, and has grown into one of the most respected specialty food retailers in the city. Nortown's customer base has grown to include the children and grandchildren of the original patrons.
