Seafood, meat and specialty food product distributor Fortune International has acquired Simply Fresh, a Durham, NC-based processor and purveyor of fresh fish and seafood to chefs across the region.
Fortune said the acquisition strengthens capabilities within its Mid-Atlantic and Southeast operations.
Fortune Founder and CEO Sean O’Scannlain said in a Dec. 18 news release. “Their dedication to providing the best customer service and the highest quality seafood aligns perfectly with our mission to elevate meals and lives.”
Simply Fresh began as a small operation serving local restaurants and today is regional supplier of high-quality, sustainably sourced seafood, led by Jim Vassallo. He and the Simply Fresh team will join Fortune Fish & Gourmet, with Vassallo serving as Director of Seafood in North Carolina.
“We are pleased to announce that with the acquisition by Fortune Fish & Gourmet, our commitment to quality, exceptional service and customer satisfaction will not only continue, but truly flourish,” said Jean Bohn, owner of Simply Fresh. “We look forward to leveraging this exciting new chapter to further strengthen our position in the market and to continue exceeding our customers’ expectations.”
