Grocers Supply

[3] David Kaplan and Nancy Sarnoff of the Houston Chronicle said that the company is "low-profile" and is most well known for the orange trucks.

[6] Joe Levit, an immigrant from Russia, began a grocery wholesale business when he leased a 7,500-square-foot (700 m2) three-story building in the "Produce Row" area of Houston.

In 1928 the company moved its operations to the warehouse, larger than the previous facility, in Downtown Houston, near the Buffalo Bayou.

Grocers Supply formed the subsidiary Bexar County Markets so it could manage the Handy Andy locations.

According to David Kaplan and Nancy Sarnoff of the Houston Chronicle, a local grocery industry member who wished to remain anonymous said that the acquisition was beneficial for both firms.

Kaplan and Sarnoff said that the anonymous employee added that the acquisition allowed Fiesta to get access to more capital and growth potential.
