“We are excited to expand LOGIC’s distribution in Canada and are thrilled to be working with Hilary’s Salesmaster, a company with a vast footprint within the Canadian market,” said Miguel Martin, president of LOGIC. “We offer a premium product for adult consumers, as well as high margins for our retail and trade partners, and we are eager to meet the demand of consumers in Canada with our products.”

Since 1951, Hilary’s Salesmaster has developed a strong national presence in the Canadian retail market that currently reaches thousands of food, drug, mass, convenience, gas, food-service and hardware retailers.

“Hilary’s is excited to bring LOGIC to the Canadian marketplace,” said Stewart Ingles, president of Hilary’s Salesmaster.
