We learned from our father, Angelo. As students, summer vacations meant walking the docks at the marketplace and embracing the hands-on experiences that came with the business. We were born and raised into it.
Refreshing our brand and moving to a new and bigger location to better serve our growing clientele.
Backed by experience, expertise, and strong customer/supplier ties, Botsis Fruits & Vegetables was founded by Chris and his siblings John, Spiro, George, and Polly. Supported by team members in buying, selling, operations, and finance, the company quickly became a key player in Montreal’s produce wholesale industry.
Chris & George acquired professional and hands-on knowledge in all aspects of the produce business and went on to join John & Spiro to work with their father.
John & Spiro gathered experience at other high-level, large-scale wholesalers and began to learn the ropes. Ultimately, they ended up joining their father in their own family business.
Buying and selling tomatoes was the very beginning. Angelo, built relationships with farmers and suppliers and established working friendships, some of which still hold true today.
