The family business began in 1912, with founder Dominick Testa selling stalks of celery door-to-door out of a basket. The creation of the Chicago Terminal Produce Market pro¬vided a central selling location for the company and Testa maintained a stall there for several years. Eventually Testa Produce outgrew that area and moved all operations to a larger building off of the Market. As the restaurant industry evolved, so did Testa Produce. In 2011, Testa expanded yet again and moved into its new home: a 91,300 square foot, LEED® Platinum Certified facility featuring the most state-of-the-art green technologies.
