Grocery delivery service GrubMarket announced Monday that it has acquired Sally Produce, one of the largest Asian produce wholesalers in California.
Sally Produce offers a full spectrum of fresh fruits and vegetables, specializing in Asian greens, pomelos and melons, sourced directly from local farms in the Watsonville, Gilroy, Bakersfield, and Santa Cruz areas. The company supplies major Asian grocery stores, including 99 Ranch Market, throughout Northern California and Washington state, as well as restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles and San Diego. The company operates a 40,000-square-foot warehouse in Gilroy, California, that allows it to reach both suppliers and customers up and down the West Coast.
After the acquisition, the business will continue to be managed by founder Sally Huang and the rest of its current leadership team.
"For years, we've been committed to bringing farm-fresh, high-quality Asian produce to our customers across the West Coast. We've built strong relationships with local growers that allow us to source directly and ensure freshness and quality control," Huang said. "Joining GrubMarket marks an exciting next chapter for Sally Produce. Being part of the GrubMarket family will enable us to expand our reach while maintaining the exceptional quality and personalized service that our customers choose us for. We are also excited to be joining a team that shares our passion for technology and cultivating a culture of innovation."
Mike Xu, CEO of GrubMarket, added, "We are delighted to welcome Sally Produce to the GrubMarket family. Under the leadership of Sally, Sally Produce has earned a stellar reputation as a top-tier provider of Asian fresh produce to grocers and restaurants across the West Coast, with a reliable, high-quality supply of specialty Asian vegetables and fruits sourced locally.
"This acquisition further strengthens GrubMarket's position in the West Coast market and demonstrates our commitment to expanding our portfolio of offerings for existing customers and supporting local California agriculture. We look forward to working together to drive continued growth as one team."
