The FruitGuys Solidifies Longtime Partnership with Denver's FruitRevival

SAN FRANCISCO, April 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The FruitGuys, the nation's leader in providing farm-fresh fruit and thoughtful snacks to the American workplace, announced today that it has acquired FruitRevival, a Denver based company that delivers fresh fruit and healthy snacks to Colorado businesses. The FruitGuys and FruitRevival have a long-standing partnership built on shared values and a shared mission to help make workplaces healthier and more productive, and to support local farms.

"The decision for FruitRevival to become part of The FruitGuys family was a deepening of this partnership and a way for us to celebrate their hard work and local roots."

Colorado boasts a thriving food to table culture, deep ties to the small family run farm community and an entrepreneurial food recovery movement. FruitRevival has been delivering local farm-fresh fruit to offices since 2009 and has donated thousands of pounds of fruit each year to community food recovery programs.  Both FruitRevival and The FruitGuys help businesses keep employees happy and healthy and hold firm the social good philosophy of giving back to the community and supporting small local farms.

"Over the years of our partnership, The FruitGuys have been tremendous mentors, helping us improve our operations so we could better serve our customers," said Melissa Edison Barnes, co-owner, FruitRevival. "The acquisition will allow us to expand our distribution of fresh fruit and nutritious snacks to companies outside the Denver metro area looking for healthier solutions across the state of Colorado.  Our local team stays intact, we now have a broader platform from which to provide service."

The FruitGuys mission is to bring farm fresh produce and thoughtful snacks to the American workplace in order to promote healthy work environments, while advocating for small farms and supporting hunger abatement. The FruitGuys is also committed to philanthropic causes and have developed several cause-related initiatives designed to support local family-run farms.
