Dempster's Bread

Dempster's is one of Canada's most recognizable bakery brands, widely known for its extensive range of sliced breads, buns, and bagels. The brand traces its history back to James Dempster, who established the bakery in Toronto, Ontario, in the late 19th century. Over more than a century, it has evolved from a local bakery into a national household name.

The production of Dempster's products remains concentrated in Canada, utilizing a network of bakeries across the country to ensure freshness. The brand focuses on using Canadian wheat, positioning itself as a staple of the domestic food industry.

Since 2014, Dempster's has been a key part of the Grupo Bimbo portfolio. Grupo Bimbo, a Mexican multinational, acquired Canada Bread (the previous owner of Dempster's) to expand its footprint in the North American market. Today, the brand is managed under the Bimbo Canada subsidiary, while the ultimate intellectual and corporate ownership resides with the headquarters in Mexico City.
