Title
Jan K. Overwheel
Description
Pat Pelliccione sat down with us to discuss how the current Jan. K. Overwheel came to be what it is today. Starting with Unico, Pat’s father, Arturo, worked tirelessly to maintain the success of the brand alongside his partners. When Unico was sold, Arturo was bought out of the industry for years until he was able to make a return with Overwheel. Now, Jan. K. Overwheel’s products are on shelves in a variety of grocery stores and the company pushes to constantly excel. Importing the freshest and unique products straight from Italy give Overwheel the ‘edge’ needed in the competitive grocery industry and will service Canada and even the United States for years to come.
Date
EST. 1947; taken over by the Pelliccione's in the 1990s.
