As the PWPM celebrates its seventh birthday, how has this state-of-the art facility changed your business?
Ted Kean, III
E.W. Kean Company, Inc.
“We don’t have the extreme temperatures like we did in an open-air market, so the prolonged self life has been an added bonus.”
Steve Yecke
Klinghoffer Brothers, Inc.
“We can keep our samples out for two days here. In the old market, we used to have to change them out two or three times a day. Safer unloading has also been a tremendous advantage that has helped our business.”
Emily Kohlhas
John Vena, Inc.
“The unbroken cold chain and flexible, modern infrastructure have been a game changer. By allowing us to be operationally innovative, it has led to incredible growth. We love how this building has enabled us to help our clients with a whole new range of services and to continue to explore the best that the specialty category has to offer.”
Brian Collotti
Collotti & Sons, Inc.
“Things run a lot smoother in this market. It’s been an easy transition for our company in terms of logistics.”
Tracie Levin
M. Levin & Company, Inc.
“Seven years have gone and come so quickly! We are proud to be a part of such a great wholesale market; it’s unlike any other in the world.”
Tom Curtis
Tom Curtis Brokerage, Inc.
“We love this building. The biggest change for us was that in the old facility, there was nowhere to store product except outside where it was exposed to all kinds of weather. Here, we can store our customers’ orders in the common area, which is the perfect temperature.”
John Dohanicz
G&G Produce, Inc.
“Our company is guided by the philosophy that ‘first impressions are lasting impressions,’ so being in this clean, safe, and efficient environment has been a plus. We’ve been in the produce business for 32 years and the end result of the unbroken cold chain is longer lasting, fresher produce for our customers.”
