Our dedication to continual improvement and excellence, coupled with an innovative spirit, has spurred our expansion into a full-line produce importer and distributor.

In 2003, Fresh Direct Produce started out with just 11 employees and two trucks. We began by selling a select range of items to a few independent grocers in the Vancouver area. In 2008, we moved into our current headquarters, a 59,000-square-foot refrigerated shipping and receiving facility located in the heart of Vancouver.

In 2014, we added our 40,000 s.f. re-packing centre in South Vancouver. Last year, the company made a major investment to expand its capacity and reach by opening a brand new 53,000-square-foot produce facility in Calgary, expanding our total square footage to 152,000 square feet.

The territory we serve has grown along with our capacity. We now supply both independent grocers and national retailers as far North as Prince Rupert in B.C. and Edmonton in Alberta. Fresh Direct’s retail partners now include Thrifty Foods, Fairway Market, Safeway, Sobeys, Whole Foods, Walmart, Loblaws and T&T Supermarket

The Calgary location has yet to reach full capacity, but boasts 18 truck bays, state-of-the-art ripening rooms and a fleet of new five-ton delivery trucks which will allow the company to expand its service area as far east as Winnipeg. And owning our own trucks means we can service more and more new communities along our existing routes.
