Truck Fleets the Back Bone of an Operation

We actually deliver bulk loads to that warehouse occasionally, as well as their stores. Sherwood Foods does the Produce out of that facility. They also do the meat and private label, but I believe that comes from their Maple Heights warehouse. We do the name brand products for them, we used to have the private label but we lost it 10 years ago or so.

And, the old timers at Acme recall their former private fleet. We took over when Fleming Foods went bankrupt in '03 or so, they had a warehouse in Massillon.

 

Yes, we have both dry van and reefer trailers. Most of ours are 53 footers, with the occasional 48 for "tight" places or shuttle runs.

 

Don't know was in my car in traffic , I used to be in food service in Omaha ages ago and first time I've ever seen you guys there .

 

Makes sence ...Omaha is a foody town .

 

Sherwood is a secondary supplier to Acme - they do meat, produce, and deli as well as their "private label" Food Club items. We do all of their name brand items in grocery, dairy, and frozen. We also do some of the private label dairy, I'm not sure how that works. Supervalu has a couple of their own private label brands, Essential Everyday is probably the most notable. I'm shocked that we haven't pursued Acme further to get that business, that would be a huge gain for us. We used to slot the Food Club line but lost it to Sherwood, most likely they do it considerably cheaper.

 

Sherwood.

Bad memories. The whole vibe of that place oozes misery.

 

I also have a few comments about them, but I'll keep it to myself.
