Sunrise Fresh Produce announced their Grand Opening with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on January 19, 2010. This opening is welcome news to the city of Jackson and local restaurant owners. The investment in this facility strengthens the owners’ commitment to the Greater Jackson area at a time when the city really needs it. Sunrise Fresh Produce is providing jobs in an environment where many are losing theirs. This new business increases competition among suppliers which brings lower prices to the businesses it services and offers a new local source for Jackson restaurateurs in support of the fastest growing category in the foodservice industry, fresh fruits and vegetables.

To commemorate this event, Sunrise Fresh Produce was joined by employees of Merchants Foodservice, members and ambassadors from the Greater Jackson Chamber Partnership along with several representatives from the City of Jackson. Also in attendance was a representative from the Mississippi Hospitality and Restaurant Association. Everyone enjoyed a nice reception following the ceremony and all guests were given a gift of a fresh fruit basket to enjoy.

Sunrise Fresh Produce offers produce, dairy and eggs to businesses within the Greater Jackson area. Sunrise Fresh Produce knows how to treat its customers with over 30 years of experience in the produce business; they have established wonderful relationships with their customers that can’t be beat!
