Warehousing and StorageTexas, United States501-1000 Employees
La Bodega Meat & Produce Warehouse operates in warehousing and storage, focusing on distributing fresh meat and produce to supermarkets, distribution centers, and grocery stores across multiple states. Based in Farmers Branch, Texas, the company traces its roots to a Florida convenience store opened in 1988 and later relocated to Houston in 1998 as it expanded. It launched formal warehouse operations in 2004 to meet growing demand, initially running from the back of a grocery store with refrigerated trailers and later moving to a 120,000-square-foot facility by 2007 to support a dedicated distribution fleet. Today, the company serves facilities in Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, and Texas, maintaining a sizable distribution operation that handles meat from major US packers and supplies fresh produce to its customers. A 2020 development involved a recall of raw beef products tied to import re-inspection issues, reflecting the regulatory and quality challenges that can accompany meat and produce distribution.
