The
company is located at 238 N. Port Avenue in Corpus Christi,
Texas with a 30,000 (20,000 of that is refrigerated)
square foot facility adequately providing 10 refrigerated
or freezer zones to receive fresh produce, eggs, frozen
fries and pinto beans. Over the years we have expanded
our service to provide produce to ships, military bases,
universities, schools, nursing homes, assisted living
facilities and corporate restaurant chains in tune with
area growth.
Corpus
Christi Produce currently runs up to 12 trucks per day
servicing areas to Kingsville, Refugio, Alice and Padre
Island, the Coastal Bend, and all areas in-between.
Our trucks load several times per day, utilizing the
four shipping bays and three other separate bays, as
needed. We have one refrigerated receiving dock, which
is used for both semi-trailers and railroad cars for
unloading fresh produce 6 days per week.
Our
produce is purchased locally in the Valley, all over
the US, Hawaii, Mexico and South America. It is shipped
through a truck broker, utilizing company owned trucks,
and delivered directly to a refrigerated receiving dock.
In the past, we have used the railroad to bring in shipments
of potatoes.
We sell
many varieties of vegetables and fruits,
including processed items of vegetables
and fruits. We also carry frozen fries,
eggs and pinto beans. We offer high
quality produce and a customer-first
service to our ever-growing base of
foodservice customers.
Our
company takes pride in its long history
of honesty, integrity and a well-trained
workforce with safety a number one priority
through our HAACP certification and
implementation. We employ a safety inspector
who daily performs his inspections as
per government’s requirements.
Margaret
Jataine, daughter of Anne and Tony Jataine,
is the current owner and active in the
daily operations. She believes in a
hand-on approach to customer service
and this is backed up by a staff of
20 to 25 employees. |
