ABOUT US

From 1638 to Today. A Legacy of Industry and Responsibility

HYDE GROUP’s heritage stretches back 386 years to 1638, when the first Baymen arrived in Belize. As early pioneers in the logwood and mahogany industries, the Hyde and Hodge families played a key role in shaping Belize’s early export economy. Their commitment to quality and craftsmanship laid the foundation for a tradition of excellence that has endured through the centuries. Today, the Hyde  Legacy expands by blending heritage with innovation, upholding our responsibility to sustainability and social impact, while crafting luxury products that reflect our timeless values.

HYDE'S SUPER MARKET 

Nearly 40 years ago, Alvin Hyde Sr. founded Hyde’s Supermarket, making it one of the few Black-owned retail chains in the region. Starting with grocery stores and meat shops, some featuring both under one roof.

 

Hyde’s Supermarket grew to serve communities with a range of products, including stationery and home interior goods, long before the market shifted in the last two decades. As we look to the future, we plan to relaunch and expand, evolving into a full premium department store that will carry our own line of luxury products, while continuing to honor the community-driven spirit that defines our legacy.

HYDE MEATS

Alvin Hyde Sr. inherited the business from his father, continuing a tradition that has contributed to the family's prominence in Belize's agricultural landscape. Originally established as a family-run cattle operation, Hyde’s Meats became renowned for its premium breed animals, producing high-quality, organic meats that are sought after across the country, particularly by luxury hospitality providers.

 

Today, people travel from far and wide to enjoy the exceptional quality of Hyde's Meats, a brand synonymous with excellence. Looking to the future, we plan to expand our operations by packaging our premium meats for distribution not only within our own supermarket chain but also nationwide and throughout the Caribbean. Hyde’s Meats remains committed to sustainability and quality, ensuring our organic and premium meats continue to set the standard for excellence in the region.
