The Salad Depot began modestly
in 1985 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Within 5 years we had moved
to the Moonachie Warehouse and are still growing.
The Salad Depot concept arose from
a need for a quality commercial salad. Dave Miles of Sunnyside
Salads, now Dave’s Salad House, recognized that need. He connected
with John Zeigler back in 1985 when John was a jobber for a cold cut company.
John added Dave’s Salad to his product line while his Dad, John Senior,
and his brother Dan expanded on John’s idea to build the Salad Depot.
So starting from a few cases a
day off his truck, John planted the seed and with help from his family
grew into a multi million dollar business. Dad retired in 1985 so
now The Salad Dept is owned and operated solely by the second generation,
John and Dan.
Salad Depot is a still a
small, but growing company amidst giants in the industry. The staff at
Salad Depot put in many hours a day providing premium service and quality
products to our customers. Dan starts his work day in the middle
of the night (midnight) and John begins very early in the morning at 3:30
AM. Serving our customers and exceeding their expectations
is our primary concern. We go the extra mile!
