Established over 30 years ago, DJs Wholesale Fruit Market is a fruit and vegetable wholesale business located in the western industrial area of Armidale.
Newly positioned to make it more accessible for trucks on delivery, the premises are only 2 years old, with a lease that runs until November 2020 and includes a 5 year option.
The current owners have successfully grown the business since 2003, telling WILLIAMS MEDIA, “This is a great money spinner, with a large and long-held customer base. A huge amount of growth potential exists for the fruit and veg and the peeled vegetables for anyone enterprising.”
The wholesale also has a comprehensive and independently certified food safety program (HACCP) which will easily enable the new owners to expand in any direction they choose.
Currently trading Monday to Friday 7am to 3.30pm and Saturday 7am to 1pm, the business has a strong workforce with long-term staff members, ranging from 14 years to 8 years of service.
DJs Wholesale Fruit Market are preferred suppliers of nursing homes, catering businesses and other local businesses. The business has an online presence, utilising Facebook and Instagram, and a basic internet site.
While successfully growing this business, the owners established a peeled vegetable section, known and registered as Ezy Peel, to compliment the wholesale business and were also able to marry up a second, retail, business known as Foodie Bliss, expanding into cheeses, charcuterie, speciality cooking condiments, takeaway coffee, cake and ready-made healthy lunches.

Plenty of growth potential exists within both the Ezy Peel business and the wholesale fruit and vegetables business. While the current owners have only focused on the Armidale area, they have had enquiries from other NSW locations, particularly other towns in the New England area.
