LONGO'S
About Longo's
Longo’s is a family-owned Canadian organization that started in 1956 when three brothers, Tommy, Joe, and Gus opened their first fruit market. It was a small 1,500 square foot store on Yonge Street (at Castlefield) in Toronto.
The family maintained a commitment to providing customers with the best fresh food experience possible. All these years later, this philosophy remains the heart and soul of our company.
Today, Longo’s operates full-service grocery stores across the GTA as well as www.GroceryGateway.com, the leader in online sales of home-delivered groceries. Longo’s employs more than 5,000 team members and offers an environment where people have the opportunity to be the best that they can be.
Longo's Vision
Inspired by the founders’ values of honesty, trustworthiness and mutual respect, Longo’s team of food experts are dedicated to exceeding customer expectations by offering the best food experience to every customer, every time.
Today’s Longo’s represents an evolution of fresh food experiences based on a tradition of quality, service, and value that started in 1956.
As we grow and continue to introduce new and exciting changes and offerings, we are committed to honoring our past, while we look forward to embracing the future.
That is what A Fresh Tradition is all about; it embodies our heritage in fresh and welcomes unique product offerings and innovative services that offer a whole layer of convenient, fresh and healthy meals and of course, our renowned customer service.
