What We're About

I grew up in the grocery business. In 2001, my parents founded ColdStar Solutions a large food wholesaler and transportation company based on the Island. From as young as 10, I would help scrub graffiti off the company's trucks. I ended up working my way through various positions at the company - forklift operator, night shift worker, billing clerk... you name it. I really got to know this one side of the grocery industry.

After a stint in broadcasting, I transitioned to work for a budding food producer that was making popsicles. The team was working tirelessly to get into retail stores across North America and that's when I really started to learn about the struggles small producers face when trying to compete in the grocery business.

It was bleak. It was expensive and to be frank, it was upsetting. The games producers were forced to play to have their products on shelves, the ridiculous fees, the loss of control of their product. It became clear to me that the system was broken and change was needed.

You don't have to have a deep understanding of the grocery landscape to know that 'the big guys' have developed large monopolies across the country. Unfortunately, that means that we as consumers have less choice than ever when it comes to what we see on our grocery shelves and the team at BCause wants to fix that.

We're on a mission to reshape how we buy groceries. We want to make your every day basics like meat and produce more affordable while also ensuring you get the highest quality. Beyond that, we love where we live and that's why we believe that everything we do should help our local community in some way.

We're just getting started and if you're ready to shop differently, help your community, eat delicious and local foods and support small businesses in the process then you've found the right spot.

BCause it is time for a new way to grocery shop.
