• Massimo’s Pastas and Vinaigrettes
• KGW Kettle Corn
• The Candy Shoppe

• OMG in assorted varieties
• And many more!

“We’re thrilled to see the positive response to Skip Express Lane so far and feel confident in our strategy to continue expanding the offering across the country to reach as many Canadian families as we can,” says Howard Migdal, COO of SkipTheDishes. “While Skip Express Lane has a focus on being a convenient option for Canadians, we’re also proud to continue to spotlight local businesses to help expand their customer base wider than ever before.”
