Ontario Natural Food Co-op to sell to Horizon Group
The Horizon Group of companies and its subsidiary, Horizon Distributors, distributes organic and natural products in the dry, chill and frozen grocery categories.
The Ontario Federation of Food Co-operatives and Clubs, Inc., operating as the Ontario Natural Food Co-op (ONFC), Canada, signed a letter of intent to sell its business and key assets to the Horizon Group, Canada.
This transaction will be an important step toward preserving a strong Canadian natural and organic food distribution system in the province, says ONFC general manager Randy Whitteker. Horizon Group's Ontario operations would remain at the existing location in Mississauga, Canada.
