The year started off fine for The Fresh Guys, said president Peter Braidman. But then COVID-19 came along.
The Denver-based produce supplier is “muddling through day by day,” Braidman said, but business is down 70% compared to last year.
The company, which serves restaurants almost exclusively along with a few small markets, is “keeping somewhat busy” and has had no layoffs, he said.
Customers missed out on spring items, he said, but he’s now waiting for summer fruits and vegetables to come on, which will include a variety of
Rocky Mountain tomatoes, kales, collards, chards, cabbages, onions, bell peppers, Hatch peppers, Olathe corn and peaches.
