BACKGROUND OF GOLDEN COUNTRY
We are one of the largest Asian, African, Caribbean and Oriental wholesale food
importers and distributors in the United States. We are located in Chicago, Illinois.
Our 215,000 square feet distribution center is located at 2355 S. Blue Island Avenue
in the heart of the wholesale food district. Our distribution center handles both
walk-in customers as well as the shipping of truckloads and container loads to points
throughout the Midwest and North America.
We carry over 4000 dry and frozen products from Asia, Africa and the Caribbean,
most of which we import directly from manufacturers. We import directly from China,
Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Korea, Vietnam, Jamaica
and the Philippines. Most of the products we carry are well known in the countries
they were manufactured and are sought after regularly by Asians, Africans and Caribbeanites
who live in the United States. Since we import products directly from the manufacturers,
we are able to negotiate the most competitive prices. Additionally, we sell many
food service, restaurant and institutional food items. Our customers are located
throughout the
 Chicagoland
area, the Midwestern portion of the United States and throughout North America.
Customers can either drive their trucks to our distribution center to order and
pick-up their merchandise, or they can request us to ship the products directly
to them by independent truckers or by our own trucks. We also frequently engage
independent truckers to deliver by the truckload or container load.
Manufacturers have recognized us as one of the Midwest's leading Asian, African
and Caribbean distributors and as one of the few full line distributors left in
the food industry. Manufacturers have asked us to represent their product lines
here in the Midwest. Among the many products we represent include Kikkoman products.
We are also the Midwest or national distributor for Ve Wong/Kung Fu noodle products
based in Taiwan, Lee Kum Kee products based in Hong Kong, TYJ Spring Roll Skin manufactured
in Singapore, Mama Instant Noodles, Wai Wai Noodles, Erawan Products, Foco Juices
and Tiparos Fish Sauce based in Thailand, Mang Tomas Sauces, Jufran Sauces, Excellent
Noodles, Simex Wrappers, Pacific Isles Fish Products, Lucky Me Noodles, Jack &
