About Us

Hasty Market has built a strong reputation as a trusted and reliable name in the convenience industry. With deep roots in local communities, we are more than just a store—we are a cornerstone of the neighborhood, offering a wide range of everyday essentials, from grocery, produce, deli, snacks, beer, and wine to essential services like Bitcoin, Western Union, lottery, and more.

Since opening our first store in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1981, founder Joe Farah set out to create a convenience brand that truly serves the needs of local communities. 

Today, Hasty Market has expanded to 130 locations across our family of banners, including Hasty Market, Mini-A-Mart, and The Market On. As a proudly Canadian-owned company, we are committed to supporting and strengthening the communities we serve. Our franchise and license partners work hard to create a true neighborhood market experience, ensuring that customers can always find what they need, when they need it—right in their own communities. Whether it’s fresh groceries, baked goods, deli selections, frozen foods, or everyday household items, Hasty Market continues to be the go-to destination for convenience and service.

At Hasty Market, we don’t just sell products—we serve communities and bring people together. More Than Just a Convenience Store.
