Authentic flavour and a driven spirit are sure to do great things in 2026!
You’ve probably heard that STUSH Patties is our 2025 BNQ Growth Collective winner! Now we’d like to take some time to tell you all about STUSH and why we think they’re an incredible brand.
Flavour meets ingenuity
STUSH was founded by Opal Rowe. STUSH Patties is bold, flavour-forward food that delivers on its promise. It all started when Opal craved the authentic taste of Jamaican patties and couldn’t find them here in Canada, so she decided to make her own. Originally a fresh patties line, STUSH made a quick pivot during COVID, launching their frozen patties. This ingenuity became a launching point for STUSH Patties. They began to find their foothold in more and more Canadian grocery stores, and the public started to take notice.
STUSH Patties offers plant-based and meat options, each delivering on flavour. They do not shy away from the spice, and it pays off! These handheld meals are perfect for packed lunches, quick dinners, or a filling snack at any time of the day. Check out their full range of flavours here!
Growing in the Canadian Retail Market
STUSH Patties has made significant strides in the Canadian retail market and is poised to do even more in 2026. While we are confident this brand would have continued its upward momentum, we are thrilled to see what happens now that STUSH is the BNQ Growth Collective winner. After meeting Opal, we knew that this brand was an excellent candidate to be the winner. Opal is kind, warm, driven, and giving, and she makes you feel like you’re sitting across from a friend from the first moment you meet her. This compassionate spirit, paired with the flavour and potential of STUSH Patties, we knew we had found our winner.
Canadian Companies Giving Back
As the BNQ Growth Collective Winner, STUSH Patties will receive $87,000 in free services, all generously donated by other Canadian businesses. The BNQ Growth Collective is a group of nine like-minded Canadian companies; we all believe in the power of giving back and supporting other businesses. Thank you to all our applicants, supporters, and the BNQ Growth Collective for making this win possible. Stay tuned to hear all about STUSH’s journey!
