WeCook expanded its ready-to-eat meal delivery service into six Western Canadian markets, bringing its chef-crafted meals to Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Regina, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver. The expansion builds on the company's established presence in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes, extending its direct-to-consumer footprint across more of Canada.
Customers in the new markets can order individual and family-size meals from a weekly selection of 15 chef-curated recipes developed under the direction of Executive Chef Gabriel Drapeau. The rollout follows a period of rapid growth, with WeCook reporting more than 1,000% growth since 2020, the creation of more than 600 jobs and annual deliveries exceeding four million meals.
The expansion reflects growing demand for convenient, chef-prepared meal delivery services as companies continue scaling direct-to-consumer food offerings across Canada.
