Our Team

When Billy and Maria Hutchinson moved to Winona Lake in 2009, they knew they had found their forever home. They fell in love with the lake, the people, and The Village.

They purchased The Olive Branch shortly after moving to the area, and a few years later decided to open Canal Street Market.

Billy has worked in supervisory and management roles and has always enjoyed cooking, so stepping into owning two food-based businesses was a natural fit.

While Billy runs the businesses, Maria continues to teach for Warsaw Community Schools and helps out at the store when she can. Their love of people and passion for their business is apparent as soon as you walk through the door at Canal Street Market; they’re sure to help you find something that will keep you coming back again and again!

When you visit Canal Street Market, expect to be greeted with a smile by Sandi, our manager, friend, and a huge part of the Hutchinson family. You will also immediately notice her talented decorating skills signifying the current holiday or season.

Although decorating is one of her strongest skills, Sandi is also a valuable asset as a manager overseeing the day-to-day operations of not only Canal Street Market, but The Olive Branch as well.

The Hutchinsons had the pleasure of meeting Sandi several years ago and admired her hard work and dedication to her previous job. When Billy and Maria decided to expand their business and open Canal Street Market, they knew they needed someone they could trust and someone that would treat their business as if it were their own. Sandi has proven to be that person and much more!

When Sandi’s not working at Canal Street Market or The Olive Branch, she’s most likely spending time with her grandkids, relaxing on her porch, or enjoying the lake.
