Nutrition Bars in Canada
Posted by Robb
Until recently, if you tried to find a PureFit Nutrition Bar north of the border, you were pretty much out of luck. While a lot of Canadian orders were processed through our website and over the phone, you’d have been hard-pressed to find one of our delicious and award-winning bars on the shelves of stores in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Ottawa, Calgary or even Edmonton.
But thanks to a new distribution agreement with Puresource, Canada’s leading natural health products wholesaler and distributor, our retail customers to the north—who just so happen to occupy the largest country in the Western Hemisphere—now have a stable and enthusiastic means of acquiring our bars right in the own back yards (well, relatively speaking… Canada does have some big back yards).
Since its humble beginnings in 1989, Puresource has built a solid infrastructure of talented staff and loyal retail customers. Over time, they’ve become the leading full-service natural product distributor in Canada, with massive distribution centers in Calgary, Montreal and Guelph.
So, the next time you’re jonesin’ for tasty wheat- and gluten-free Nutrition Bars in Canada, don’t be too surprised if you find a PureFit Bar at your local supermarket! And if by chance you don’t, leave a comment here and be sure to include the names of the retail outlets where you’d like to see our bars sold.
I really want to try them.

Please post the names of specific stores or cdn websites that carry PureFit in Toronto. They have become a necessity, so just”hoping” to find in my local supermarket is not specific enough. Many many thanks. K

Great question Karen. We are looking for a new dealer locator that will be able to show retailers of PureFit in the US and Canada. I discovered that LA Fitness( a large Gym chain) based right near us, has a similiar type system that might work. I can’t say how quickly we will be able to implement the new software, but my goal is January 1, 2009. Thanks again for reminding me to get on this.

Can we purchase the bars in Calgary? A doctor I work with brought 2 samples for me from the Boston Marathon, and I’d like to stock up. If we can’t get them locally, I assume Canadians can have them shipped through your website?

Nancy-
Thank you for your interest in PureFit. It is my understanding that our online international dealer locator will be working, and “live” tonight (I truly appreciate your patience until then). We have been working with the software to make it user friendly. In the meantime, I searched our internal database to find several retailers who can help you in your local area, including:
- Horizon Meats: 403-291-0595
- Federated Co-Op: 403-531-6672
- Natural Healing & Nutrition: 403-259-3765
Each of the above stores receive PureFit bars from Puresource, one of our Canadian Distributors.
If you are unable to get our bars from one of the above three stores, please call Puresource at 800-265-7245 and ask to speak to customer service.
Thanks again for your support.
