Kardish isn’t just a store; it’s a legacy rooted in the heart of Ottawa since 1979.
Our journey began with Robert Assaf, who practically grew up in a Kardish store owned by his father. From stocking shelves as a kid to eventually leading the company, Robert’s story is one of passion and family. Together with his wife Melinda, they’ve nurtured Kardish into what it is today—Ottawa’s largest health food retailer.
With over 50 dedicated team members, we’re proud to continue bringing wellness solutions to our community, staying true to the values that started it all.
