Longo Brothers Fruit Markets Inc., commonly known as just Longo's, is a family-run grocery chain in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, Ontario, Canada. Its corporate office is located in Vaughan, and had been previously located in Mississauga.

Longo's was founded in 1956 by Italian immigrant brothers Joe, Tommy and Gus Longo, who immigrated to Canada in 1951 from Termini Imerese, Sicily.[1] They established their first store at the intersection of Yonge Street and Castlefield Avenue in Toronto.[1] This store was about {{convert|190|m2|sqft}}, and had eight family members working there. The Longo brothers opened their second store in 1962, on Woodbine Avenue.[1]

Longo's owns and operates more than 32 stores in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. A {{convert|4500|m2|sqft|adj=on}} flagship store opened in Maple Leaf Square in downtown Toronto, and a new store opened in Mississauga on 26 February 2015. The newest store, opened in Ancaster in September 2016, is the southwesternmost location in the chain, and the first in the Hamilton market.[2]

Longo's employs more than 5,000 people,[3] and for nine consecutive years was one of Canada's Top 50 privately managed companies by the Financial Post newspaper (2000-2008), achieving platinum status.[4]

Longo's publishes a free magazine called Experience Magazine.

Joe Longo Sr. died on September 15, 2008, at the age of 70.[5] Tommy Longo died on January 30, 2011, at the age of 76.[6]

In 2004, Longo's acquired the online grocery retailer Grocery Gateway, providing Longo's with the largest online grocery retail presence in Canada.{{citation needed|date=May 2017}}
