Distributor Develops Mobile Produce Shop

LANDOVER, MD (July 26, 2012)—Keany Produce Co. sends its Gateway to Gourmet mobile produce department truck on the road to existing and potential customers.

The truck’s racks display a variety of new, specialty, organic and locally grown produce. Keany retrofitted one of the 20 new Kenwood delivery trucks it took delivery of in December into the produce showcase.

Chefs can examine and purchase product straight from the truck or place larger orders, said Kevin Keany, president.

“This is like a supermarket on wheels,” he said. “This brings all kinds of new and fresh ideas to stimulate the chefs’ menus and recipes. It’s a way to get our products out in the marketplace a little easier than giving them a hand-out with pictures.”
