AGCO suspends Max Multi Mart lottery and alcohol authorisations in Ontario

Enforcement & compliance

Source: AGCO (Ontario)

Ontario’s Alcohol and Gaming Commission immediately suspended Max Multi Mart’s lottery retail registration and convenience store licence on 15 August 2025. The order followed criminal charges against owner Hiteshkumar Patel arising from a human trafficking investigation; the allegations have not been established in court. The licence-holder can appeal within 15 days to the Licence Appeal Tribunal.

The suspension prevents Max Multi Mart from operating under its lottery and alcohol authorisations while an appeal remains available.
