Slush Puppie Canada, a family business

Originally from Blue Sea in the Haute-Gatineau region, André Beaudoin founded Slush Puppie Canada in 1975. A philanthropic businessman with a strong commitment to his community, André Beaudoin’s legacy is more than a company, it is a philosophy and a vision.

In 1998, Jean-Rock Beaudoin (André’s son) who had been with the company since the age of 13, became the company’s new CEO and took the company even further, while preserving the family values.

With the addition of new products, growing sales and an expanded highly established distribution network, Jean-Rock Beaudoin has for several years now been able to say that the company’s succession plan is mission accomplished! Jean-Rock has many projects on the drawing board for Slush Puppie Canada, which is constantly expanding. And the company’s succession plan does not stop there since a 3rd generation has already made its entrance with the arrival of Andréanne Beaudoin (Jean-Rock’s daughter), who joined this great entrepreneurial adventure in 2024!
