Mainstreet came to visit our facility, listened to the dream, listened to the idea, and after a couple days, gave us our first opportunity to grow the business... We love to be able to speak to people who are actively interested in our success

Their Story

Established in 2004 in a quaint café in London, Ontario, Coppa Inc. has grown into the largest gelato and sorbet manufacturer in southwestern Ontario. What started as a family-run Italian café, offering coffee, soup, sandwiches, and gelato, soon blossomed as wholesale demand surged in the late 2000s. To meet this growing demand, Coppa relocated to Strathroy, Ontario, where they partnered with Mainstreet Credit Union to support their expansion.

By 2012, Coppa had become a licensed dairy producer with a 4,000-square-foot facility. Today, they operate from a 15,000-square-foot space, producing nearly 20 flavors of gelato and sorbet, and distributing across the country. Their products are featured in eight of the largest grocery chains in Canada, along with many independent and boutique retailers. With Mainstreet Credit Union's expert guidance and support, Coppa has successfully navigated the challenges of growth, thriving in wholesale, co-packing, and private label production.
