Rosella’s
Since 1945, the name Rosella has been synonymous with quality in the produce industry. Founded by Michael Rosella in a small building on Western Avenue beneath the Pike Place Market, the company has grown to become one of this region’s largest privately owned wholesale distributors.
Experienced buyers research local and world markets daily, purchasing the finest quality fruits and vegetables available. The cycle of receiving, inspecting, storing and shipping fresh produce is performed by knowledgeable and dedicated personnel, 24-hours a day, seven days a week. All produce is carefully maintained in Rosella’s large, modern fully refrigerated facility.
Thrive has enjoyed our relationship with Rosella’s since 2009.
