About Superior Foods

WE'RE LOCAL AND WE LIKE IT THAT WAY! We've been in business for over 50 years, and we're more committed than ever to working with our neighbors. Strong local economies support strong communities, and we're proud to support local agriculture as a way of doing our part. We work with local farmers to bring you meats from the region year-round and fresh, quality produce in-season. Our licensed meat processing plant cuts local meats to order, makes private-recipe burger patties and sausages. OUR MISSION Consistency, Traceability, Value. Three things people ask about most when it comes to buying local have become our guide-post. We aim to make buying local as simple as possible. HISTORY We've been a part of the community since Frank Petrone opened the doors here in 1951 under the name of Frank's Locker Service. Famous for frozen meats, poultry and groceries, Frank's became an icon and in 2006 when Frank retired, new owner Luis Alves began operating it side-by-side with his other business, a broadline distributorship called LA Quality Foods.  Specializing in European products back then, Luis worked with suppliers like Saputo Foods, Midland Seafood, Sardo and Ferma Imports to supply Thunder Bay with specialty cheeses, a full range of fish and seafood, European food lines and pizza supplies.   Eventually the two companies merged and ran under the name of LA Quality Foods until 2015, when we re-branded to reflect the new focus we've directed at local procurement. Our new name, Superior Foods, represents both the history of quality products we've brought into Northwestern Ontario from all over the world and our future as sustainable partners in the regional food system developing around Lake Superior and Northwestern Ontario.
