Team

	Brad McMullen
	Bob McMullen's youngest son, Brad started working at Summerhill Market at the age of 10 and today is the store’s general manager. Every day, Brad looks for new ways to raise the bar when it comes to his father and grandfather’s tradition of providing the local community with fresh produce, superior grocery selection, choice meats and homemade prepared food items. Whether it’s ensuring our back-end operations run seamlessly, or that our front-end products are presented perfectly, Brad is passionate about making Summerhill Market the best independent grocer in the country.

	Christy McMullen
	Christy is Bob McMullen’s daughter, and she joined her dad and brother Brad at Summerhill Market in 2003 as store manager. A Chartered Accountant by trade, Christy worked internationally for years with KPMG before returning to her roots at the family business. A McMullen through and through, Christy is dedicated to getting a job done – and getting it done well.

	Bob McMullen
	The current owner of Summerhill Market, Bob, is the second oldest child of founder, Frank McMullen. Bob grew up in the store and has dedicated his life to the grocery business. Bob learned from his father that the key ingredient for success in the grocery business is a commitment to quality – a tradition he’s proud to share with his customers, his staff and now his children.

	Joe Ranieri
	PRODUCE MANAGER Joe has worked with Summerhill Market since 1990 and, as our produce manager, definitely puts the ‘pro’ in ‘produce’. Often arriving before sunrise, Joe is extremely dedicated keeping us all well stocked with the highest quality produce anywhere. (In fact, he’s so good at finding us the freshest produce; you’d think we were growing it out back.) If you’ve got a question about any of our produce, Joe is always happy to give you all the info you need.

	Robert Ryniak GROCERY MANAGER
	Robert moved to Canada from Poland in 1987 and after working for many years in the grocery industry, became our grocery manager in 1998. Robert personally knows each brand, and is a great resource if you want to learn more about the differences between them, great alternatives to traditional products, and how effective a particular cleaning products is! If there’s a product you’re looking for that we don’t carry, just ask Robert and he’ll be happy to get it for you.

	Rob Toth PRODUCE BUYER
	Rob became the produce buyer for Summerhill Market in 2005, and his understanding of business theory and many years of experience working for Bruno’s Fine Foods has been a huge asset to both the Summerhill Market team and our customers. With a keen interest in sourcing organic products, Rob arrives at the Ontario Food Terminal at 4:30 am each day to source the highest quality fruit and vegetables.

	Sarah McDonald FLORAL MANAGER
	Sarah McDonald has been working in the floral industry for over 11 years after qualifying from Mohawk College in Floral Design. She has moved deliberately into roles that both inspire and challenge, leading to her present position at Summerhill Market. Sarah is more than adept at all the detailed work and finesse required to create classical and traditional arrangement. Her extensive knowledge of composition and floral structure can really make a statement and will most definitely continue to push Summerhill's floral design to new levels. With an instinctive understanding for the vision of her clients, and as gregarious a personality to match her talent, Sarah is making a name for herself in Toronto's hottest market!

	Memorial of Frank Mcmullen January 16, 1914 - April 20, 2003
	Frank McMullen was the founder of Summerhill Market, which he opened in Rosedale back in 1954. As the neighborhood grocer, Frank took pride in knowing the majority of our customers by name and eventually became one of the most well known faces in the community. His legacy survives through our continued commitment to customer service. His mandate was that the customer was always #1, every product in the store is 100% guaranteed, and that if we didn’t carry something you were looking for, we would find it for you. Continued...
