Founder
Don Yuen was born in China, where his family had operated a grocer store for three generations and came to Canada in 1949 after the family lost their business.[4] Yuen worked at his uncle's store and at a sawmill before embarking on his own store in 1963. Yuen is now Fairway Markets' President.
