    2007

    Before City Wide was even an idea, owners and newlyweds Gopal and Fazleen were ready to explore a new passion for produce. At 21 they purchased a small grocery store on Fraser Street in Vancouver. They learned so much about the industry and their new passion transformed into a love for produce. This was the key factor in validating their desire to continue providing fresh produce to their clients!

    Business was growing! Gopal and Fazleen were becoming known for their friendly and warm customer service. Soon, they saw an opportunity to begin supplying more restaurants, expanding their service to the rest of the lower mainland.

    2009

    Gopal and Fazleen made the decision to sell their retail store to explore different avenues within the produce industry. Gopal began working with a wholesaler in order to continue supplying local grocery stores with produce. The wholesale space needed more passion for produce and with his past customers reaching out, he began to see an exciting new opportunity in the wholesale space. This planted a seed and Gopal and Fazleen decided to create their own produce wholesale company!

    2010

    City Wide Produce was born! Word got around that Gopal and Fazleen were in the wholesale space, and past and new clients alike began reaching out to work with their new company, City Wide Produce. City Wide was created to support grocers, food processors and services, and wholesalers in the best way possible, and it really took off!
