Wild Fork, a high-end grocery chain based in the United States, has announced its decision to withdraw from the Canadian market.
Closure of Canadian Operations
The company revealed that it will be shutting down its Canadian stores and discontinuing its online sales in the country. Wild Fork, which specializes in frozen meats and seafood, entered Canada in 2021. The retailer currently operates locations in Ontario, including stores in Toronto and Oakville.
Reason for Market Exit
Wild Fork stated that the choice to leave Canada is part of a broader strategy to focus on its core U.S. business. The company did not provide additional details regarding the number of employees affected or the specific timeline for the closures.
Customer Impact and Refunds
According to Wild Fork, customers with outstanding orders will receive refunds. The retailer’s website has posted a notice informing shoppers of the upcoming closure and the discontinuation of Canadian operations.
Background and Expansion Efforts
Wild Fork is owned by JBS S.A., one of the world’s largest food companies. The brand is known for its direct-to-consumer approach, offering a range of frozen proteins through both physical stores and e-commerce platforms. Its expansion into Canada marked an effort to reach new markets outside the United States.
