Job Description

Why Gambles?

At Gambles, produce is everything. Our business provides the widest assortment of top-quality fruits and vegetables for the wholesale, foodservice, and retail sectors. With a his-tory dating back to the early 1900s, Gambles has grown and evolved into one of the larg-est produce wholesalers in all of Canada. We operate out of three locations across the country: two in Toronto and one in Calgary. We also have a satellite office in Philadelphia that manages our U.S. sales operations. Our goal is to be the supplier of choice for all our customers' needs.

Our people are the backbone of our business! We have a "hire-from-within" mentality at Gambles, which means we put extra focus on developing our people and giving them unique career advancement opportunities. Just like our products and our customer base, we love to see our people grow!

We offer a competitive benefits package with employer covered health and dental benefits (you don't pay the premiums!) and a company matched Pension Plan for our full-time employees.
