Company History

            Olympic Wholesale Co. Ltd. is a distributor of food ingredients and supplies, serving Canada and the United States. This family based company was originally founded in 1936 as a manufacturer of preserves, jams and pie fillings named Pure Foods Preserving Company. In 1972, the manufacturing aspect of the company was eliminated and wholesale distribution of bakery and food service was increased to accommodate this growing sector. With a growing public demand for quality bakery supplies, Olympic Wholesale Co. Ltd. opened a retail outlet store one of the first bulk food retailers at their Parliament Street location in 1975 to 1985. This retail store was closed when the company moved and focused solely on the Wholesale distribution sector. Gaining knowledge over the years of the retail market, Olympic expanded its lines into retail food products serving the small to medium size retailers in Ontario primarily and then growing into the USA. The USA growth now covers all states.

In February 2008, we moved into our new warehouse to meet the demands of our increased client base and products lines. The new facility was also built to meet the new demands of HACCP and C-PAT, we believe our strength is the ability to adapt to the ever changing market trends and we take pride in tailoring our inventories to meet our customer’s specific requirements. 

We currently distribute over 3000 listed products including our house brand product lines branded as: Olympic, Tasty, Bakers and Pure Foods. Our product line is manufactured through various co-packing partnerships. 

Our present client base consists of scratch bakeries, in store bakeries, deli bakeries, industrial bakeries and retail grocery chains.  Among our customers you’ll find hundreds of independent proprietorships and several small and large chain operations.
