Gitanmaax Market is one of several businesses owned and operated by the Gitanmaax Development Corporation. The Corporation owns the Gitanmaax Market as well as Gitanmaax Food and Fuel and employs approximately 20 - 30 staff at any given time and they are proud to be one of the area's largest employers. Their vision is “to restore and maintain healthy traditional community values while actively participating in the new economy.”
The store itself was first envisioned more than 20 years ago. Though it took several years of planning, the store finally became a reality in 2014 thanks to the support of a variety of community partners.
Not only does the store offer a viable and sustainable means of employment, it also provides an essential service to the area. It is the largest grocery store in the area, and residents no longer have to worry about traveling to other communities for food and other day-to-day needs.
