Longo's Hummus

Longo's is a prominent grocery retailer based in Ontario, Canada, that produces a variety of private-label food products, including snacks and dips like hummus. The brand has its roots in Toronto, where it was founded in 1956 as a small fruit market. Over decades, it evolved into a major regional grocery chain known for its focus on fresh produce and high-quality prepared foods.

Today, Longo's operates as a significant brand within the Canadian grocery landscape. In 2021, Empire Company Limited, the parent company of Sobeys, acquired a majority stake (51%) in Longo Brothers Fruit Markets Inc. This partnership integrated Longo's into one of Canada's largest retail networks while allowing the brand to maintain its distinct identity and headquarters in Vaughan, Ontario. The manufacturing of their private-label goods typically occurs within Canada to ensure freshness and support local supply chains.
