Longo's once again named Platinum Club Member Longo's recently announced their status as a Platinum Club Member of Canada's 50 best managed companies for its sixth consecutive year. "A hallmark of Longo's success has been the exponential growth the company has seen over the past five years. We now operate 26 stores in the GTA, with another store opening in Oakville this spring," Anthony Longo, president and CEO, said in a press release. "Like Maple Leaf Square and Leaside, our new Oakville location will feature a Corks restaurant and bar. Corks is one of the ways we're creating a more dynamic offering to our customers and stretching the typical boundaries of the grocery shopping experience. Company growth, team member engagement, and progressive thinking continue to be at the core of Longo's business strategy." In 2012, Longo's released its Grocery Gateway mobile app -- Grocery Gateway, which has been owned and operated by Longo's since 2004, oversees the online sales of home-delivered groceries in Ontario's Golden Horseshoe area -- the app helps customers easily create their orders and was named one of the best new mobile apps of 2012 by Apple Inc. The grocery chain also created a new position, director of culture and community, to "uphold the legacy of family culture as the company continues to grow," stated the release. In addition, Longo's launched a scholarship program administered through the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada for the company's team members and their children, as well it is involved in more than a dozen non-profit organizations and donates approximately three per cent of its pre-tax profits as part of its charitable giving and sponsorship programs. 23 | Wednesday, March 6, 2013 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Sail, fly on March Break at SMiLeS camp This March Break, local students will have a chance to sail the world from the comforts of school and to fly a kite.
