Convenience Stores

Becker's Milk was a franchised chain of convenience stores in Ontario, Canada. The company owned 74 retail stores and 91 franchised locations before being sold to Mac's.

Dairy

Becker Milk products included:

  • milk
  • cream
  • fruit juices

Rush

The progressive rock group Rush listed Becker's Chocolate Milk in the "Special Thanks" section on many of their albums.

Asset sale to Silcorp

The assets of Becker's were acquired by Silcorp, parent company of rival Mac's Convenience Stores in November 1996. Becker's continues operation as a property owner. Silcorp itself was acquired by Alimentation Couche-Tard in April 1999. Since that merger, the Becker's name has been retired, as Couche-Tard focuses on its core Mac's banner. The Becker's flower is now part of the Daisy Mart banner, an independent network of stores affiliated with Mac's in Ontario.

Milk products under the Becker's trade name were sold in Becker's, Mac's, Mike's Mart, and Winks locations until May 2006.
