Pacific Coast Produce

What Pacific Coast Produce does

Pacific Coast Produce is a privately held, full-line food service distributor founded in 1995 and headquartered at 950 Mountain View Avenue in Oxnard, California. The company supplies a comprehensive product range to commercial food service operators in California, spanning fresh produce, fresh processed produce, fresh and frozen meats and poultry, deli meats, dairy products, dry goods, canned goods, frozen goods, condiments, dry spices, seasonings, disposables, and janitorial and cleaning supplies. Its customer base spans full-service restaurants, fast food establishments, catering companies, hotels and motels, assisted living facilities, and small independent 'mom-and-pop' businesses.

The company's core differentiator is a one-stop distribution model: rather than requiring a food service operator to source produce, proteins, disposables, and cleaning supplies from separate vendors, Pacific Coast Produce consolidates these into a single order with six-day-per-week delivery. Distribution is executed from a 30,000-square-foot warehouse using the company's own truck fleet. Customers can transact through a direct sales relationship or via a self-serve online ordering portal hosted at net3.necs.com. The technology stack is not proprietary and no AI, software, or platform intellectual property is disclosed.

Revenue is generated through transactional distribution margins on the resale of food and non-food products to business customers; no subscription, fee-for-service, or contractual recurring revenue model is disclosed. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investors, parent entity, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or M&A activity. The most recent verifiable public-facing artifacts (website copy, blog posts, portal links) date to 2014, and no management team, board, or executive leadership information is publicly disclosed. The company is currently operating and reachable via a single listed phone number and an online contact form.

Regional players

• Ben E. Keith Foods: Texas-headquartered regional broadline foodservice distributor with comparable product breadth across foodservice categories. Comparable in scale, family ownership, and broadline operating model to Pacific Coast Produce, but serving Texas/Southwest markets.
• Cheney Brothers: Family-owned regional broadline foodservice distributor headquartered in Florida, with comparable produce, meat, dairy, frozen, and disposables offerings for restaurants and institutions. Similar founder-owned regional broadline model outside the West Coast.
• Labatt Food Service: Family-owned broadline foodservice distributor serving Texas and the Southwest with multi-category B2B distribution. Comparable size, family ownership structure, and product breadth to Pacific Coast Produce.

Direct peers

• FreshPoint: Sysco's specialty fresh produce and foodservice distribution subsidiary, operating across multiple US markets including California. Direct peer because of matching fresh-produce foodservice focus and overlapping restaurant/institutional customer base.
• Shamrock Foods Company: Family-owned regional broadline foodservice distributor serving the Western US from Arizona with comparable product breadth (produce, dairy, meat, frozen, disposables). Highly comparable in scale, ownership, and broadline product mix to Pacific Coast Produce.

Broad incumbents

• US Foods: Top-two U.S. broadline foodservice distributor with extensive national footprint and broad SKU coverage; competes for the same restaurant and institutional customers as Pacific Coast Produce, especially as it expands local and specialty offerings.
• Performance Food Group: Major U.S. broadline foodservice distributor with a large foodservice segment (including the former Reinhart). Establishes the scale standard and competitive procurement depth Pacific Coast Produce must work around.
• Gordon Food Service: Privately-held broadline foodservice distributor with strong North American presence and direct-to-customer model. Comparable broadline offering and competitive overlap in California-adjacent geographies.
• Sysco Corporation: Largest global broadline foodservice distributor with full U.S. presence; sets the scale, procurement, and private-label benchmark that regional broadliners like Pacific Coast Produce operate against, including through its FreshPoint subsidiary.

Others

• KeHE Distributors: Large specialty and natural foods distributor with a foodservice channel presence. Adjacent to Pacific Coast Produce's specialty offerings (organic juices, fine cheeses, local produce) but broader in natural/specialty focus rather than full broadline foodservice.
