Vince’s Market is an independent grocery chain with locations in Sharon, Newmarket, Uxbridge and Tottenham, Ontario. The first Vince’s was established in Toronto in 1929, and since then we’ve built a strong reputation for fresh foods, personalized service, and great value.
But don’t just take our word for it – Vince’s Market has been recognized as one of Canada’s top companies by the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers, and some of our stores have even been named the 1st or 2nd best independent grocer in all of Canada!
The secret to our success is the hard-working team at Vince’s, who are passionate about food, and love building great relationships with our local customers. We care deeply about finding the right people to fill our roles, because when our employees are happy, then they’ll make sure our customers are happy too.
At Vince’s Market, we’ve been passionate about food since 1929. What started as a small produce business in Toronto has grown into a well-loved independent grocery chain with locations in Sharon, Newmarket, Uxbridge, and Tottenham. Even as we’ve grown, we’ve never lost what makes us special — fresh food, genuine customer service, and a team that truly cares.
We’re currently looking for a Part Time Prepared Food Clerk to join our Tottenham team.
If you love food, enjoy working with people, and like staying busy, you’ll probably find that time flies in this role. There’s always something to learn and someone to help — whether that’s preparing fresh products, keeping displays looking beautiful, or helping a customer choose the perfect item for dinner.
This position offers approximately 10-25 hours per week, with a mix of evenings, and weekends. We’re looking for someone with full year-round availability, as we are hiring for a long-term role rather than seasonal work.
The expected hourly compensation for this position is $16.60 to $19.00 per hour, depending on experience and aligned with our standardized and transparent compensation scale. Team members may also become eligible for our benefits program after three months of employment.
One of the things we’re most proud of at Vince’s is our training and development. We provide thorough orientation and hands-on training in food safety, department standards, customer service, inventory control, and food knowledge. Whether you’ve worked in food before or simply love cooking at home, we’ll give you the tools and support to succeed.
Working at Vince’s is different from working at a large corporate grocery chain. As an independent business, our departments have the flexibility to make decisions, try new ideas, and respond to what our customers love. Your input matters here. We believe in open communication, personal growth, and promoting from within whenever possible.
We also believe work should feel good. Our teams are close-knit, supportive, and genuinely enjoy working together. From store BBQs and holiday celebrations to volunteer activities and team events, we value building community inside and outside our stores.
For transparency, Vince’s Market does not use artificial intelligence to screen, assess, or select applicants for this position.
If you are interviewed for this publicly advertised role, we will inform you whether a hiring decision has been made within 45 days of your interview (or within 45 days of your final interview if there is more than one), in accordance with current legislative requirements.
If you’re someone who loves food, enjoys connecting with people, and wants to be part of a team that feels more like family, we would love to hear from you.
This posting is for an existing vacancy.
Why Work at Vince’s?
Working at Vince’s Market is quite different than those big grocery store chains. When you’re small and independent your strength lies in the creativity, personality, and passion of your people – not in some top-down corporate strategy.
At Vince’s, each department runs their own space, and makes important decisions as it relates to what we stock, how we display it, and how we serve our customers. Your ideas are valued and implemented, as we empower the team to take advantage of local trends and needs, and tap into our customers’ desires.
Our other strength is in having long-term, passionate employees. You won’t be treated like a number around here – you’ll be respected, and there’s an open door policy to engage management about anything that could be better, or isn’t working. We like to work hard at Vince’s and that’s because we like what we do, and we like each other. Our people are friendly and our teams are tight, because they not only enjoy working together, but also have fun at the many BBQs, family outings, holiday parties, and volunteer activities that each store organizes.
And finally, you’ll also notice that we’re pretty focused on fostering personal development for our people. From increasing their financial acumen, to doing monthly, quarterly and annual performance feedback and management reviews with every employee– it’s all about the growth. We are also committed to expansion, so there’s lots of room to get promoted, and we always look to promote from within.
