Founded in 1986 as a family-run cash-and-carry store in Montreal, Tootsi has always focused on innovation and diversity. From day one, we built close relationships with suppliers and customers, sourcing locally and distributing directly to bring fresh, quality ingredients to our community. Known for our reliability and dedication, Tootsi has grown while staying true to these core values. As our business grew, so did our vision. We started importing unique products from around the globe, expanding into organic and specialty items to satisfy our customers' evolving tastes. Today, Tootsi offers more than 1,500 shelf-stable products, from classic staples to exotic superfoods, all sourced both locally and internationally to provide unmatched variety and freshness. While we established strong roots in Canada, our commitment to quality and exceptional service opened doors across North America. Major manufacturers and retailers trust us as a valued partner. We continue expanding with our in-house brands, Yupik and Elan, featuring unique recipes prepared at our state-of-the-art facility. With distribution centers in Montreal and Chicago, we ensure our products reach customers from coast to coast. At Tootsi, we're led by a passionate and dedicated team who carry the spirit that started it all. We're proud of our growth, as we continue bringing high-quality snacks and ingredients to our customers.
