Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 29, 2025) - Mary Macleod's Shortbread announced today that it is commemorating more than 40 years in business with a series of initiatives designed to support continued growth, multi-generational leadership, and expanded distribution across Canada. The company's anniversary year includes operational investments, strengthened retail partnerships, and enhancements to its digital infrastructure as it continues to adapt to demand within the Canadian market.

As part of its anniversary initiatives, the company has broadened its product availability through select major retail chains and regional distributors throughout Canada.
