Charles Huls purchased The Dutch Market Ltd. in 1987. At that time, there was a single store located on St. Clair Street, (Chatham, Ontario Canada) and had just 3 employees. In the last ten years, there have been many changes at The Dutch Market. We still carry all the quality meats, cheeses, licorice, chocolate, groceries and gifts that our customers have come to rely on, but we have added to our selection and expanded our business. In the mid 90's, Charlie saw a real opportunity to improve the quality of our products and the price competitiveness of our store by importing directly from Europe. That importing for our own store grew to wholesaling to other Dutch and European Shops. Today we service bakeries, butcher shops, European specialty shops and grocery stores across Southwestern Ontario.
