SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Acquisitions are often the catalyst for even more exciting new growth opportunities. For GrubMarket, opportunities are abundant, as the company recently announced that it has acquired Texas wholesaler RJ Produce as it looks to bolster its presence in the market.
“RJ Produce works with an incredible variety of valued growers year-round and offers efficient solutions to support them,” said GrubMarket CEO Mike Xu. “I am excited to welcome the RJ Produce team to the GrubMarket family as we further strengthen our position in Texas. Together, we will build a greater customer base and a stronger supplier network in the food ecosystem nationwide."
As a result of the acquisition, RJ Produce will now be able to use GrubMarket’s innovative proprietary software platform WholesaleWare, which provides food industry suppliers and vendors with seamless financial management, easy-to-use online ordering and sales, precise inventory management, and engaging CRM tools, according to a press release.
