Mr. Greens Expands into Atlanta Market
In a strategic move to bolster its presence in the Southeast, Mr. Greens Produce has successfully acquired Parishables Food Service, a well-established player in the Atlanta market. This acquisition marks a significant step for Mr. Greens, as it aims to tap into Atlanta's rich food culture and vibrant culinary scene.
Founded over 20 years ago, Parishables specializes in delivering fresh produce and dairy products, primarily serving customers throughout Georgia, especially in the Atlanta metro area. The previous co-owners, Jason Harwell and Tommy Bullington, hold a deep commitment to quality and reliable service, principles that resonate strongly with the values upheld by Mr. Greens. According to Nick Politis, CEO of Mr. Greens, the acquisition allows them to leverage Parishables' local expertise while enhancing their service capabilities in the region.
Jason Harwell expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, emphasizing their shared commitment to putting customers first. In his words, “Mr. Greens also respects its workforce, which is important as we have a dedicated team.” This collaboration is expected to facilitate transformational growth for Parishables while simultaneously expanding the range of services and products that Mr. Greens can offer.
The entry into the Atlanta market enables Mr. Greens to establish long-term relationships and better cater to the needs of a dynamic restaurant industry. With plans to introduce high-quality, diverse offerings—ranging from exotic cheeses to specialty produce—the company aims to differentiate itself in this competitive market. Notably, Mr. Greens' commitment to exceptional service will include regular deliveries every single day of the year, bolstering their logistical capabilities significantly.
Harwell highlighted that Parishables already offers a solid foundation, and with Mr. Greens on board, they will provide additional items previously unavailable. “We are not just talking about vegetables; this partnership enables us to deliver a broader spectrum of products, which will be pivotal for attracting new customers,” he noted. This includes Sunday deliveries, an innovation that could set them apart from competitors in the region.
Mr. Greens, headquartered in Miami, has built a strong reputation across Florida and Texas markets, and this acquisition is set to strengthen its position further. Their long-term vision encompasses continued expansions into other metropolitan areas, leveraging strategic mergers and acquisitions with reputable partners.
Ultimately, this acquisition not only enhances Mr. Greens' service offerings but also reinforces its goal of becoming the leading distributor in the food service industry. With the acquisition of Parishables, the path is paved for fostering meaningful business connections that thrive in the culinary hub of Atlanta.
In conclusion, the acquisition symbolizes a strategic alignment of two companies that prioritize quality and service. Mr. Greens is looking forward to integrating Parishables’ successful service model with its own, ensuring that both companies collectively advance in a competitive marketplace.
