Saskatchewan
Rosetown, Saskatchewan
The story of the proudly Canadian Assaly family begins in Rosetown, Saskatchewan. The family had come to America and settled in Chicago at the turn of the century. They then moved north to homesteads offered to them by the Canadian government. Although times were troubled, Michael Assaly had positioned the family to weather the Great Depression and the dust-bowl era by adroitly establishing The Assaly Supermarket and The Assaly Abattoir in the 1920’s. The remainder of the Assaly land was conditionally leased to local farmers on the provision that their livestock be processed through the Assaly Abattoir. This intuitive business sense positioned the operation to become the central abattoir of the region, while The Assaly Supermarket operated as the main trader of local produce.

The wisdom of the first Canadian generation of the Assaly family established what has become a tradition of innovation, quality and success for future generations.
