At Canco, we’re Canadian born and raised. We are an independent chain of gas stations launched in 2016. A bold alternative to big-box retailers, Canco was born from a vision to become a leading gas retailer brand. We purchase directly from major fuel refineries and terminals in Canada to ensure premium products are offered at competitive prices. Proudly local, we put people first and run our business with honesty, integrity, and excellence.

In this role, you will assume full end-to-end ownership of Canco’s hot food programs and the kitchen business. This position carries total accountability for the concept, design, rollout, execution, sustainment, and future innovation of these programs. The expectation is not maintenance of the status quo, but disciplined rebuilding, optimization, and scalable sustained growth our hot food and Canteen Kitchen initiatives.
