“Russ Davis Wholesale is a perfect fit for the Pueblo community,” said Andrew Trainor, PEDCO Chairman. “They bring a midwestern family brand to partner with our local farmers to create the pre-packaged, fresh produce that the modern market place is looking for. We are very pleased to have RDW come to Pueblo and provide over 160 new jobs and make the kind of capital investment that means they are here for the long term. When the company was searching for a new place to conduct business, they soon found out that Pueblo has plenty to offer and they made a very good business decision to jump on the Pueblo Proud bandwagon.”
We will keep you updated as the project develops.
