Van Eerden Foodservice
Van Eerden Foodservice began in 1920 when Andrew Van Eerden formed “Van Eerden Company” to distribute fresh produce to grocers and restaurants in the Greater Grand Rapids area. His dedication to finding the freshest fruits and vegetables for his loyal customers led to daily train rides to the Chicago market. It is this commitment to freshness and customer service that has allowed Van Eerden to thrive for nearly 100 years. Now in its fourth generation of family ownership, Van Eerden Foodservice still remains focused on the business principles and values first established by Andrew Van Eerden in 1920. Committed to a philosophy of “Service First”, Van Eerden Foodservice looks at situations from the customer’s point of view, understanding that real solutions provide the customer with what they need to succeed in their business. https://youtu.be/EIl4VedirXs
