Bick's is a Canadian brand of pickles. Originally a producer based in Scarborough, Ontario, it currently exists as a brand whose products are imported and sold in Canada by U.S.-based TreeHouse Foods.
Bick's emerged in 1951 in the Toronto area when local farmers George and Lena Bick and their sons Walter and Thomas began to pickle the cucumbers produced on their Knollview farm.[1][2] Beginning as a small operation of 60,000 jars, the Bicks produced 12 million jars in 1960.[1] The business was sold in 1966 to Kraft Foods Canada and later became part of International Multifoods.[3]
Walter Bick, one of the founders of Bick's Pickle, died on October 17, 2011, at the age of 94. Walter left behind four children, thirteen grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.[4]
