Canadian and Family Owned
On May 11th, Flanagan Foodservice acquired the Summit Food Service business and we are in the process of integrating it into Flanagan’s existing network.
We are so excited to serve you! Flanagan's has always felt a kinship with Summit Foods - both Canadian owned distributors (there are only a handful of us left), both selling national brands and both having values that represent the best of Ontario.
For Summit customers, within the next few weeks your sales representative (which in many cases is your existing Summit rep) will be in touch with you to share more information on the transition including any changes to your ordering and delivery process. Our motto is to provide our customers with “the difference you deserve” and our goal over the next few months is to minimize any disruption for you and to do all that we can to help you recover from the impact of the pandemic.
In the meantime, why don't you take some time to learn a little more about us and some of the resources we are excited to share with you! To stay up-to-date on the most recent news, including food trends, product information and more, please sign up for our newsletter.
Proudly Canadian owned and built on a reputation of reliability and flexibility, we provide exceptional service to over 7,000 customers. With more than 10,000 items for your foodservice operation, we deliver products and solutions that make your life easier. After 43 years of serving Ontario operators, we understand your business and the daily challenges you face. With distribution centres in Kitchener, Whitby and Sudbury we are positioned to serve the entire province.
The Flanagan difference is smart and transparent. It’s about spending time to learn your business and not pushing ideas that help ourselves. Our success is directly tied to yours and we work happily and diligently to create great customer experiences on a daily basis!

It's what's on the inside that counts
As a Canadian family-owned business we continue to celebrate the things that make us great as a nation with an emphasis on the environment, sustainability, accessibility and our communities.

"Green" is more than just our brand colour
Once upon a time, the word "green" simply identified our corporate colour and branding. Today, "green" implies a huge spectrum of ideas, practices and philosophies. We focus on being environmentally responsible and proactive.
In addition to our recycling and lighting programs we have a rainwater collection system for washing trucks and a heat exchanger to make use of excess heat from compressors to heat the freezer and cooler floors.
We also have over 1,300 solar panels that cover 100,000 square feet of space at our Kitchener branch.

“For over 20 years we have been happy customers of Flanagan's. Our success is in no small part due to the support we get from you.
From the delivery drivers to the on-line ordering system to the credit department to Greg, our representative, we would like to say, 'job well done.'”
Kevin Anyan Bowmanville, Ontario
"We have been dealing with Flanagan's for a number of years and have found that whenever we needed anything, [they were] there for us.
Always knowledgeable about the products we order, from our sales rep to the delivery drivers. We find when dealing with our rep and driver, there is a friendly atmosphere and deliveries are always on time.
If ever another restaurant inquires where we get our food supplies from, I will recommend Flanagan's without hesitating."
Chef Erik Kinghan Manitoulin Hotel & Conference Centre Little Current, Ontario |
“At Maple Leaf Tavern, we are proud to be FeastON certified and considered one of the top 100 restaurants in Toronto. Our kitchen and bar teams are dedicated to producing our offerings in-house using quality fresh ingredients.
We choose Flanagan’s because we were looking to work with a locally owned and operated mainline supplier where we could mutually build a professional and personal relationship. We have worked with two other very large main-line suppliers and we found constant staff turnover and pricing inconsistencies.
With Flanagan’s, we feel that our needs are top of mind. Our rep knows our business and anticipates our supply needs. Many times our Sales Representative, Rory Ross, has gone above and beyond our expectations sourcing products and offering solutions to our wants and needs. The delivery team has always been timely, thorough and courteous.
Flanagan’s is a great organization to work with and we would recommend them to any organization large or small. They have advanced systems, however they have not lost the person-to-person interaction we expect from a supplier relationship.
If you are considering a professional organization for your food service needs, do not hesitate to reach out to Flanagan’s."
Todd D. Morgan Toronto, Ontario |
"Flanagan's is great to deal with, sales reps always going above and beyond. Drivers always friendly and on time. Great customer service all in all!
Ryan Nesci Sudbury, Ontario
“The reason why I'm with Flanagan is simple. I feel that my rep Markus is always willing to go out of his way to help me out of a bind. He is always accessible and knowledgeable to answer all of my questions. In most cases, he gives a better solution for whatever problems I have.
For the drivers, they bring in my products as if they know exactly the order I need them in for ease of restocking; this sounds like it's not a big deal, but not having to move stock more than once is invaluable and saves me not only time but money.
In all, I would recommend Flanagan to anyone and encourage them to switch over to them, they will not regret it."
