History Cara started out as a Steamship company running on the Niagara River in Ontario. It soon moved into the food catering business catering to a boom in passenger rail traffic in Canada.
In the 1930s Cara began offering catering services to the airlines. By 1951 they were serving about 1 500 meals a day.
Cara had long been a family owned business since its inception in 1883. It finally went public in 1968. At the time its primary business was catering to the transportation sector (airline and rail meals), but did operate a few 'no-name' restaurants and coffee shops in various office towers and airport terminals in Canada. The total sales of all the various operations was C$30 million in 1968.
In 1986 Cara provided services for Vancouver's Expo 86. To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. ...
