Denninger's is proudly in its
third generation of family management

From Humble Beginnings

Denninger’s originated to the Black Forest region of Germany where Rudolf Denninger and his wife Frieda operated three food stores. Shortly after emmigrating to Canada in 1953, the Denninger family established their first store on King Street in Hamilton, Ontario the following year. Denninger’s quickly developed reputation for producing high quality, European style sausages, as well as fresh and smoked meats. To meet increasing demand, new stores were added throughout the 1970s and 1980s and Denninger’s became an integral part of shopping in Burlington, Oakville and Stoney Creek. Although Denninger’s reputation was initially earned among its European clientele who had immigrated to Canada following the Second World War, this loyalty continues today. We look forward to welcoming you to a Denninger’s near you!

Bringing Foods Of The World To Your Home

Denninger’s has 5 retail locations, a manufacturing plant and a warehouse employing approximately 300 people across Southern Ontario. Our retail stores offer a range of gift baskets, catering services and freshly prepared meals. Along with its signature sausages and meats, “Denninger’s Own” line prepared foods now features a wide selection of ready-made soups and appetizers.
