John Morrell Food Group’s package meat division of Armour-Eckrich Meats was in need of refrigerated warehouse space with cooler storage temperatures and refrigerated dock space to accommodate their route delivery trucks. The 84 Produce Row facility was formerly occupied by Sunfarm Food Service, Inc. which recently located to a larger facility leaving the refrigerated food facility available for lease. The 7000 ft.² of food facility has refrigerated and multiple refrigerated rooms, dry warehouse space and a mezzanine office area for support personnel. The refrigerated dock has 4 truck dock doors and ample parking for the Armour Eckrich Meats’ fleet of refrigerated route trucks.

84 Produce Row is located in the St. Louis Produce Market. Most major metropolitan areas have produce market areas. Most metro produce markets are cooperatives which provide administrative support for common area maintenance, sanitation, building maintenance, security and other amenities to their members. These things are attractive to small and medium sized foodservice distributors, which allow the managers to focus on their business operations.
