For the Home Team - A Note from Our Founders

Written By Guest User

We started Big League Food Company with one goal in mind: to help local retailers win. As longtime supporters of independent food businesses, we know how hard it can be to compete against the ‘big guys’ while staying true to your values.

That’s why we’ve built Big League to be more than a supplier—we’re your teammate. We curate standout products from top local makers, offer next day delivery service, and deliver a personalized experience that puts your needs first.

Today, we launch our new brand slogan: "For the Home Team"

This isn’t just our slogan — it’s our mission. Because when local retailers win, communities grow stronger. We also want to introduce you to the team who will be going to bat for you every day - your dedicated sales reps who are here to support your business and make your day-to-day ordering easier.

Meet your Big League sales team: a passionate, experienced crew here to support you every step of the way.

Maggie and Sarah have been with us for 8 years, bringing deep product knowledge and a can-do attitude to every interaction. Mark and Drew are our resident coffee pros, ready to talk beans, brews, and everything in between. Reid brings fresh ideas and foodie flair to your shelves, while Srushti keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes. And we’re excited to welcome Amanda back soon - she’s currently on mat leave, enjoying time with her new daughter.

Now that you've met the team, our main goal today is to share a bit about what we’ve accomplished so far and what you can look forward to.

OUR SUCCESS SO FAR:

  • LOCAL PARTNERS: Secured 15+ distribution agreements (95% Canadian) that are making a big difference for our customers. They include, but are not limited to Oatly, Genuine Tea, City Seltzer, Benny, Eat Love, MidDay Squares, Barbet, Aeras Water, Lactalis, Greyridge, and more to come.

  • DISTRIBUTION: We’ve grown our fleet significantly and now service out to London (west), Oshawa (east) and Muskoka (north) and everywhere in between. We have among the lowest delivery minimums and offer next day service 6 days per week.

  • CUSTOM OFFERING: We offer full private label capabilities in juice, fresh foods, bakery, and coffee to help you stand out from the rest. We can also source any custom product you need for your operations. 

WHAT’S NEXT:

  • BLFC PORTAL: In early 2026, we will launch an online portal to enable ordering of all our products across our brand portfolio. You will have direct access to your invoices, payment information, and account in one place.

  • MORE PRODUCTS: Our portfolio continues to grow and now exceeds 2,000 products. We’re planning the launch of several new products including dairy items, eggs, fresh sandwiches, and an expanded assortment of bakery items (including croissants and muffins). If you’d like anything else added to the list, we’d love to hear from you.

  • BETTER SERVICE: Every customer will now have a single dedicated sales representative to service your everyday needs. 

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us! We’re proud to be in your corner, are grateful for your support and look forward to continuing our partnership together.
