Cannings Foods Limited was a Trinidad and Tobago company in 1912 by Ernest Canning, a British-born businessman.[1]
The enterprise began as a grocery store. Then it introduced dairy products (including ice cream), baked goods, poultry processing, and soft drinks. The supermarket HiLo, started in 1950, was the first self-service store in Trinidad and Tobago. The store was later purchased by Neal and Massey Limited.
In the 1990s, the Cannings Group ceased to operate - with the exception of the HiLo supermarket. The Cannings soft drink brand was sold to Coca Cola, and continues to be produced.
