Marathon Foods began with Jack Dardalis and his family and friends hand-making Dim Sims and Spring Rolls in a West Footscray garage. The business grew by supplying Asian-inspired snacks to fish and chip shops across Melbourne, and was named Marathon because Jack travelled around Melbourne like a marathon runner to service his customers. Today, Marathon is Australia’s market-leading producer of Dim Sims, Spring Rolls and Puffy Dogs for the food service and retail channels, and remains owned and operated by the Dardalis family.
