I am a second generation produce provider. In the 1950’s, my father, Al, opened Burdo’s Market; a neighborhood retailer selling fruit and vegetables. A fixture in the community of Borough Park, Brooklyn, the business grew and prospered for more than 40 years. Upon Al’s passing in 1994, the market was sold.

Working by my father’s side since childhood, I learned all about the produce business. Like any smart entrepreneur, I identified new opportunities within the wholesale produce industry and decided to branch out. I began wholesaling produce to friends in the restaurant business and soon thereafter John’s Market was launched to satisfy the ever-growing demand for quality wholesale produce in the New York Tri-state area.

John’s Markets reputation as a leading restaurant supplier of wholesale produce quickly spread via the network of chefs in the metropolitan area. In an industry where loyalty is short-lived, John’s Wholesale Produce Market enjoys an ever growing list of satisfied and long-term clients. My success is a tribute to the emphasis placed on dedicated account management, attention to detail, ease of ordering, produce quality, reliable service and delivery. Most importantly is the essence of partnership between John’s Market and each and every client.

“Helping clients become successful is not complex. We are available, dependable and give personal, detailed management to every single customer. Our clients are under a lot of stress and they need to know we will come through with quality, consistent product and timely delivery every time. We will always be there to help solve any problem.”
