Pure Hothouse Foods Expands in Texas

Pure Hothouse Foods recently broke ground on a brand new state-of-the-art distribution center in San Antonio, Texas. This facility will encompass 60,000 square feet of cooled space, with fully insulated cooler panels and include all the latest eco-friendly technologies. This will help to distribute fresher products to its expanding customer base in the Southern US with limited food miles, say company officials. “Pure Flavor’s dedication to growing the most flavorful vegetables has fueled our expanding North American footprint and is a real tribute to the talent of our growers in all regions in North America,” says Jamie Moracci, president. “With the continuous commitment from our customers in the southern region, and more production from our Mexican operations, we want to be able to provide more availability from our San Antonio facility to help fuel customer growth.” With this expansion, Pure Flavor will be creating over 100 employment positions in the San Antonio area; it plans on opening in the summer of 2015. “In just over one decade since we opened our doors, we have seen Pure Flavor expand from one distribution center in Ontario, Canada, to three strategic locations in North America to service our growing customer base,” says Matt Mastronardi, CMO. “I believe with our continued level of customer service, continual growing line up of fresh produce offerings from the greenhouse, accompanied by Pure Flavor’s innovative marketing approach, we will see continued expansion into other regions in the near future.”
