In 1942, Anne Sopko, the daughter of Ukrainian immigrants, started Anne's Grill in the Sutherland Hotel restaurant in Winnipeg. One of her menu specialties was perogies. It was close to the CP Rail station and among travelers the restaurant had a reputation for serving delicious traditional food. Leon Naleway, a pastor from Chicago of Polish decent, frequented the restaurant, and that constant patronage eventually lead to marriage in 1947.
Their son Bob Naleway was born the following year. Other patrons started requesting Anne's food for their weddings, and two years later she moved to a new location on William Avenue, where the catering business really began to flourish. Moving once again, to Selkirk Avenue in 1953, they abandoned the restaurant business altogether and instead had a small banquet hall and kitchen, and this is how Naleway Catering got started.
