RIDGEFIELD, CT - With two recent acquisitions in its back pocket, The Chefs’ Warehouse (CW) is expanding its reach in the produce arena. Recently, the distributor announced it had acquired Hardie’s Fresh Foods and Greenleaf Produce & Specialty Foods as it continues to diversify its portfolio of offerings.

“Similar to the way we expanded into protein, these recent moves in the produce category allow us to reach more customers with more diverse inventory,” shared Christopher Pappas, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Chefs’ Warehouse. “Our decision to invest in talent and new facilities while continuously leveraging our strong sales force has allowed us to accelerate our growth coming out of the pandemic into new territories and categories. We continue to focus on our multi-year strategy of combining strong organic growth with strategic acquisitions that provide both top-line and bottom-line synergies as we scale.”

Through the addition of Hardie’s, CW will strengthen its produce category nationally, a release stated. The Greenleaf acquisition brings more talent and a new category to the distributor’s presence in Northern California, creating a more dynamic environment for cross-selling and long-term efficiencies for the Bay Area.

“Executing on our CW strategy to be the one-stop shop for the best chefs in the world continues to be our primary focus. The Chefs’ Warehouse team has never been stronger, more talented, and more committed to being the trusted partner that connects the world’s finest artisan food producers to the world’s most demanding chefs,” added Pappas.
