SupperWorks ORLEANS AND NEPEAN
Alison Kelly-Quesnel
SupperWorks has been in Orleans over 12 years
As a franchise we wanted to cover all of Ottawa- Orleans and Nepean compliment each other.
When SupperWorks Orleans opened it was the first SupperWorks in Ottawa
Happy to be here for over 12 years helping busy people eat well and taking the work out of supper!
Women owned and Canadian franchise established in Oakville
2. What made you choose this type of business?
Believed meal assemble service made sense for busy families like mine. Loved the idea of coming home and having an idea and all the ingredients for supper
Since 2005, SupperWorks has been offering its customers an easy and affordable way to prepare delicious meals without the hassle of researching recipes, shopping or prepping ingredients. We’re an established company that’s been in business since before the craze of meal kit delivery companies or restaurant delivery services.
Joni Lien was a busy mom in Oakville when she heard about meal assembly kitchens, which were gaining popularity in the US. She was intrigued by the concept and although she was not the entrepreneurial type, she took a leap of faith and opened the first SupperWorks location in November 2005. Orelans was the first in Ottawa March 20006.
SupperWorks continues to help people meal plan and prep healthy, homemade meals.

I grew up in rural Ottawa and still live in the same area. I love to golf, curl, being outside and watch the RedBlacks!! My family is active in our community – hockey, ringette, 4-H. My husband, who is a Firefighter with the City of Ottawa and I along with our 2 teenage children own a maple bush in Lanark county. Quesnel Maple is my husband’s hobby that has turned into a business.
