The move follows the company\u2019s acquisition of Vancouver-based <a href=\"https:\/\/specials.tryhungry.com\/foodeeandhungry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Foodee<\/a>, a leader in curated office meal solutions for small teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since entering the Canadian market, HUNGRY has already hired 28 employees and contractors. HUNGRY plans to continue growing its Canadian team in the coming year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada\u2019s strong workplace culture and demand for curated culinary experiences made the country a natural choice for HUNGRY\u2019s international growth. By integrating Foodee\u2019s established network of independent restaurant partners and corporate clients with HUNGRY\u2019s technology-driven platform, the company is well-positioned to deliver seamless, chef-driven food solutions to Canadian businesses. The Toronto Region will serve as a key hub for this growth, providing access to one of North America\u2019s largest corporate markets and a diverse talent pool.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past year, HUNGRY has advanced its mission through two transformative acquisitions: <a href=\"https:\/\/garten.co\/kitchen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Garten<\/a>, a forward-thinking snacks and pantry company, and Foodee. These integrations have broadened its ability to enhance workplace culture, promote well-being, and support sustainability while continuing to expand its footprint across North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canadian businesses\u2019 readiness to embrace new solutions has also accelerated HUNGRY\u2019s success in the market. \u201cCanadian businesses and consumers are impressively quick to adapt to new solutions and technologies,\u201d said Jeff Grass, CEO at HUNGRY. \u201cThe readiness to embrace our unique platform and services has been remarkable, allowing us to swiftly make an impact and tailor our offerings to meet the specific needs of Canadian workplaces and events seamlessly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toronto Global, the organization that proactively attracts international companies to expand into the Greater Toronto Area, worked with HUNGRY on its expansion. \u201cLocal expertise is invaluable. Partnering with established Canadian brands, great Canadian law firms like Arid Berlis and other organizations is one of the most effective ways to build credibility and foster community connections,\u201d said Grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHUNGRY\u2019s decision to choose Toronto as its first foray into Canada is a testament to the strength of our market, the diversity of our talent, and the entrepreneurial spirit that fuels innovation here,\u201d said Stephen Lund, CEO, Toronto Global. \u201cWith access to one of the largest corporate communities in North America and a thriving food culture, HUNGRY will have no shortage of clients in our region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mayor Olivia Chow also highlighted Toronto\u2019s role as a gateway to growth. \u201cToronto is proud to welcome HUNGRY to our city,\u201d said Mayor Olivia Chow. \u201cOur world-class culinary scene, diverse talent, and dynamic business community make Toronto a natural destination for companies that want to innovate and thrive. We look forward to seeing HUNGRY grow and contribute to the fabric of our city,\u201d said Mayor Chow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the company continues to grow in Canada, its focus remains on empowering local chefs and restaurants, fostering innovation in workplace dining, and delivering happiness one meal at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About HUNGRY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>HUNGRY is a food-tech platform that provides exceptional catering, snacks, and event services to workplaces across North America.
