David Park
David Park was born into the food business. From a very young age, he watched his family establish one of the cornerstone Asian food markets in the Chicagoland area and gained experience in every aspect of the business, from running the cash register to running the day to day operation of the entire business. After decades of experience, David found that an essential relationship in the business was between the supplier and front end retailer. He began having a vision for a business that offered efficient and high quality food sourcing while understanding the details and challenges faced by retailers. A business that could be a true partner to people like his parents.
