 PROFILE
A veritable veggie volcano, United Foods grows asparagus, corn, okra, mushrooms, and other vegetables on farms in Tennessee, Utah, and the West Coast. It distributes its vegetables to grocery chains such as Kroger, Food Lion, and Publix, as well as through food brokers to independent grocers. United Foods also markets to military commissaries and to institutions such as hospitals and schools. Vegetables are sold under its Pictsweet brand (accounting for about two-thirds of sales) and under buyers' labels. United Foods has processing plants and warehouses in California, Oregon, Tennessee, and Utah. Chairman and CEO James Tankersley's firm, Pictsweet, took United Foods private in 1999.
