GrubMarket acquires A&B Tropical Produce, facilitating East Coast expansion
Summary
Founded over 14 years ago, A&B is still run by its original owners Alan Goldberg and Bobby Wani, both of whom are fresh produce veterans with over three decades of industry experience. With a strategic location near the major ports in South Florida, A&B’s facility also houses cold storage space, supporting a successful business offering “in and out” shipping services. Mike Xu, CEO of GrubMarket, adds: “Alan and Bobby have built A&B into an impressive fresh tropical produce business that has an immensely loyal customer base. I am also impressed by the global scale of A&B, which supplies tropical goods from many key international countries like Ecuador, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, Jamaica, and Colombia. A&B is also strategically located near key Florida ports at the crossroads of North and South America, which will enable GrubMarket to strengthen our position not only on the East Coast but also in the global food supply chain.
