The Cons family is a Montreal-based business family known for their ventures in the meat distribution and real estate industries. Their rise to prominence began with the establishment of C&C Packing, a company founded by Stanley Cons in 1974. The family expanded their business interests over the decades, particularly into real estate development following the sale of C&C Packing in 2016. The Cons family continues to maintain a strong presence in the food and real estate sectors.
History of C&C Packing
[edit]C&C Packing, founded by Stanley Cons in 1974, became a prominent player in Canada’s meat distribution industry. The company supplied beef, pork, poultry, and other meat products to clients across the country, and over time established a reputation for high-quality products and service.[1][2] Stanley Cons was later joined by his sons, Ronnie Cons and Michael Cons, who played significant roles in the company’s operations. Ronnie served as CEO, while Michael held the position of COO. Under their leadership, C&C Packing continued to grow and became a key company in the Canadian meat distribution market.[1] In 2016, after 42 years in business, C&C Packing was sold to Premium Brands Holdings Corporation for approximately CAD 150 million. This transaction marked a turning point for the family, as they began diversifying their business ventures, especially in real estate.[1][2]
Real Estate Ventures

Led by Ronnie and Michael Cons, they established the JOIA brand, which became associated with luxury residential developments in Montreal. One of their flagship projects, JOIA Griffintown, is located in a rapidly developing part of the city and has contributed to the transformation of the Griffintown area into a hub for urban living.[3][4] Another notable project is Majestic by JOIA, a luxury residential development aimed at affluent buyers, offering high-end amenities and catering to residents seeking premium living experiences. These developments have helped solidify the family’s position in Montreal’s real estate market.[4]
