Stush Patties Expands Across Canada: A Celebration of Caribbean Flavour and Entrepreneurship

PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Opal Rowe for Stush Patties

TORONTO, CANADA (2025) — Stush Patties, a proudly Jamaican-Canadian, woman-led brand known for its bold reimagining of the Jamaican patty, is excited to announce its expansion into British Columbia and Quebec. With distribution now in IGA (BC), Marché Tau (Quebec), Whole Foods and Nature’s Emporium (Ontario), Stush Patties continues to make waves as a Canadian-made, globally inspired food innovation.

During Black History Month, Stush Patties is not only a celebration of culinary creativity but also a testament to the impact of Black-owned businesses in Canada. The brand’s commitment to quality, diversity, and giving back to communities underscores its mission to bring “proper patties” to every home.

Celebrating a Cultural Icon
“Patties are joyful comfort food,” says Opal Rowe. “I grew up eating them, but I wanted to create something more—something made with real, wholesome ingredients that honour the nostalgia while embracing modern health and wellness values.” Stush Patties offers a range of premium options, including beef, jerk chicken, and plant-based patties that are 100% vegan, breaking new ground where traditional vegetable patties often fall short.

A Game-Changer in the Frozen Aisle
Stush Patties are more than a quick snack—they’re a versatile and wholesome option for any occasion. From school lunches to wine pairings, these patties are crafted without fillers, artificial additives, or suet-based pastry, earning them space in natural food stores such as Whole Foods and Nature’s Emporium. This expansion is breaking barriers, as some retailers carry Jamaican patties for the first time, bringing the flavours of the Caribbean to new audiences.

Stush Patties is driven by a bold vision to make Jamaican patties a staple in kitchens around the world. “This is just the beginning,” says founder Opal Rowe. “Our vision is to make Jamaican patties as beloved and versatile as tacos or samosas, bringing the vibrant flavours of the Caribbean to new audiences and new occasions.” With plans to expand into the U.S. market and explore globally inspired flavours, Stush Patties is reshaping what frozen food can offer. Equally rooted in community, the brand is committed to giving back—supporting shelters, empowering local farmers, and creating opportunities to share the joy of good food. “Every patty we make is part of something bigger—a movement that combines culture, care, and quality,” Rowe adds.
