This family-owned and operated business provided groceries, meat, produce, chicken, pizza, and other essentials to our little town for 75 years. The Lanovaz journey evolved again when we took over Bigway Foods in Shellbrook with Jody and Chrissy at the helm. Then in 2016, the road forked a final time for our family when Jason became the new owner of Summit Meats and Sausage here in the Sutherland area of Saskatoon. We&#8217;re now into the fourth generation of Lanovaz&#8217; with nephews at both Shellbrook Bigway and Summit Meats here in the city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: var(--tcb-color-6);\">Still committed to bringing this same close-knit family experience to the wonderful folks of Saskatoon, our staff is excited to grow with our customers to provide excellence in service and unmatched quality in product. We&#8217;ve got over 30 years of experience behind us, and would love to share it with you.
