About Harbor Wholesale Foods

Founded in 1923 by Swedish immigrant Carl V. Erickson, Harbor was initially known as West Coast Produce Company and was located in Aberdeen, WA. In 1954 the company name was changed to Harbor Wholesale Grocery to reflect the increased focus on grocery. And in their fourth generation, it altered its name to include “Foods” as foodservice took on a more central role in their customers’ markets. The company now operates over 300,000 square feet state-of-the-art distribution and warehousing centers in Lacey, Washington; and Roseburg, Oregon.
