The March Group, LLC currently represents a well-established & profitable importer & wholesale distributor of a variety of fresh fruits & vegetables to clients throughout the US.

Offerings now include watermelons, limes, carrots, mango's, cabbages, & strawberries. Strategically located for convenient access to grower base. Tremendous avenues for growth, including an entry into the ever-more-popular organic foods market & expansion of individually quick frozen (“IQF”) product offerings, can be pursued with the addition of an investor. Principal shareholder & tenured sales manager, combined are the driving force behind the remarkable gains in recent years and would like to stay on with the Company.

Property Features and Assets:

A 150,000 square feet warehouse facility is comprised of office space (500 square feet), a refrigerated warehouse (75,000 square feet), and a dry warehouse (74,500 square feet). In lieu of rent, the Company pays a low per pallet entry/exit fee. This is a yearly, open-ended arrangement expected to decrease overhead significantly. The Company is headquartered from a nearby office space, 2,700 square feet, leased from a third party at fair market rate.

Market Competition and Expansion:

In the past few years, the Company has followed an aggressive business development plan. Based on the great success of this endeavor, management believes that an investor would enable the Company to pursue many additional avenues for growth.
