More Than Just a Convenience Store…
In 1981, Joe Farah immigrated to Canada and opened his first convenience store in Hamilton Ontario. Since then, Hasty Market has grown to 130 franchise and license locations serving communities throughout Ontario. Hasty Market now operates a robust family of banners and brands which include Glow Sub Shop, Market Fresh, The Market, and Hasty Express.
As a Canadian-owned brand, the Hasty Market team is motivated by the mission of saving customers time by giving them what they want, when they want it in locations that are in the heart of communities across Ontario.
Evolving with Communities: A New Era for Hasty Market
Since its inception in 1981, Hasty Market has continuously evolved to meet the changing needs of customers and franchisees. What started as a traditional convenience store model has now expanded into a new, innovative concept for franchising—one that goes beyond the typical corner store.
Our new Hasty Market concept features larger store formats (1,000 – 2,000 sq. ft.), allowing franchisees to offer more than just traditional convenience store items. Customers today are looking for expanded grocery selections, fresh food options, and everyday essentials, and our new model is designed to deliver exactly that. This evolution not only provides greater revenue potential for franchisees but also enhances the overall shopping experience for customers.
In addition to reimagining Hasty Market stores, we’ve also launched a new retail concept— The Market On. This concept is designed to provide an efficient and elevated shopping experience, catering to modern customers who seek quality, variety, and convenience under one roof.
At Hasty Market, we’re committed to growing alongside our communities, giving both franchisees and customers more choice, better access to fresh foods, and an enhanced shopping experience. Whether through our new franchise model or our expanding retail concepts, we continue to shape the future of neighborhood convenience.
