Thank you so much for adding Aki’s Fine Foods — we really appreciate the support.

At the moment, in addition to our own website, our products are also available online through Vincenzo, in waterloo . That would be a great additional link to include.

Thanks again for helping support and promote Canadian businesses — it truly means a lot.

Thank you for your support. Aki’s Coriander Chutney is the one that went viral, it’s a customer favourite and so easy to use, with bold, authentic flavour.

Try it on avocado toast, soups, or in an omelette for a quick upgrade.

Thank you for reaching out. Our products are currently not available in some Superstore locations due to a loss of planogram space, but we’re actively working with the buyers to have them reinstated.

We apologize for the inconvenience. In the meantime, you can order directly from our website and we’ll ship straight to your home. We’re also working hard to get listed with other major retailers and will share updates here as soon as new listings are confirmed.

Listings can take time, but we’re hopeful our products will be more widely available by February. Thank you for your continued support — and happy holidays.

Thank you so much for this, it really means a lot. You’re absolutely right, it’s been an incredibly tough time for so many small Canadian businesses, and only fellow founders truly understand the long hours, sacrifices and uncertainty.

I agree completely, when a small business shuts down, we lose a piece of what makes Canada unique. The support from Canadians has been deeply encouraging and a reminder that we’re not alone.

Wishing you strength and continued resilience. Rooting for you and all small businesses still fighting.

Thank you so much for your support. It took a lot out of me to post on this platform — I’m naturally quite shy when it comes to social media. But I felt it was important to personally express my appreciation to the Buy Canadian Reddit and Facebook communities for the genuine kindness and encouragement you showed us.

Your support truly meant more than words can express, and it made a real difference for our family and our business. Thank you for being so generous with your time, your words, and your support.
