Short History of Hi Lo Food Stores

The story of Hi Lo Food Stores began on June 1, 1950 when Gordon Graves New, the son-in-law of Ernest Canning, opened the first store on Marine Square. Hi Lo later became a part of the Neal & Massy family when Canning and Company legally became a subsidiary on April 17, 1975. Hi Lo Food Stores currently serves families from all over Trinidad with our 17 locations and over 1,600 employees.

In our continued efforts to enhance our staff, Hi Lo offers a Management Trainee program, aimed at attracting highly ambitious and talented personnel both externally and internally, to become the future managers of Hi Lo Food Stores nationwide. Participants are awarded a Certificate of Achievement for successful completion.

Hi Lo Food Stores is now in its 54th year of business and still growing with our commitment to excellence, we are always ready to meet the challenges of today’s consumers. At Hi Lo, we continuously prove to be “Hi in quality and Lo in prices”.
