Our Story

We have deep roots! Since 1961 George’s Market & Celebrations has been an integral part of the community. For over six decades, we have been serving Thunder Bay as a family-owned and operated grocery store. As a third-generation business, we take immense pride in being your trusted neighbourhood market and meeting all of your grocery needs.

Our family traditions and history are at the core of everything we do. We love to share our timeless recipes and cooking tips with our extended family— our customers! From farm-fresh produce to premium cuts of meat, baked goods, and fresh produce, George’s Market proves an unparalleled shopping experience that will elevate your meals and shopping experience.

We also offer a wide range of speciality ingredients, artisanal products, and spices. From produce to pantry staples, we curate an extensive selection of high-quality products to cater all of your culinary desires and shopping needs.
