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.
To deliver this mission across our family of banners, our franchise/license partners work tirelessly to deliver a neighborhood market experience within their stores. Customers can expect to find a wide assortment of groceries, produce, bakery, deli, hardware, and frozen foods in addition to vital services such as ATM, Lottery, Western Union, bitcoin, and so much more in our stores.
