Welcome to The Market On
Redefining the future of local shopping.
The Market On Story
In 1981, Joe Farah opened his first convenience store in Hamilton, Ontario, with a vision to serve his community by providing easy access to everyday essentials. What began as a single neighborhood shop has grown into Hasty Market, a trusted name with over 130 franchise and license locations across Ontario.
Building on this legacy, The Market On was created to meet the evolving needs of modern consumers. Today, The Market On represents a fresh and innovative approach to convenience retail, blending the charm of a local grocer with the efficiency of a modern convenience store. Our stores are thoughtfully designed to cater to busy, on-the-go lifestyles while providing high-quality products and exceptional customer experiences.
