A Legacy of Freshness: Rowlands & Co (Shrewsbury) Ltd Through the Decades
At Rowlands & Co (Shrewsbury) Ltd, our story is one deeply rooted in a passion for quality produce and a commitment to serving our community. Founded in 1894 by Richard Rowlands, as a Provisions Store in Frankwell, Shrewsbury, we have proudly passed this legacy down through four generations.
Early Beginnings (1894-1940s)
Richard Rowlands, with a vision for providing fresh, local produce, opened our doors in 1894. The distinctive red temperature-controlled vehicles quickly became a familiar sight across Shropshire, delivering the very best in fresh produce to homes and businesses.
Growth and Expansion (1950s-1980s)
The second generation of the Rowlands family took the helm in the mid-20th century. During this period, the business saw significant growth, expanding its product range beyond fresh produce to include dry goods, frozen foods, and specialty items. This diversification allowed us to cater to the evolving needs of our customers in the catering and retail trade.
Building a Sustainable Future (1990s-Present Day)
The last few decades have seen Rowlands & Co (Shrewsbury) Ltd embrace a strong focus on sustainability. We prioritise sourcing our products locally whenever possible, minimising our carbon footprint and supporting local farmers Throughout our journey, Rowlands & Co (Shrewsbury) Ltd has remained a family-owned business, guided by the core principles established by Richard Rowlands himself. We are committed to:
- Quality: Delivering the freshest and highest quality fruit and veg boxes to our customers.
- Sustainability: Minimising our environmental impact and supporting sustainable practices.
- Community: Engaging with our local community and supporting local causes.
- Customer Service: Providing exceptional service and building strong relationships with our clients.
Looking ahead, we remain dedicated to upholding these values while continuing to innovate and adapt to the ever-changing needs of the food industry. We are excited to see what the future holds for Rowlands & Co (Shrewsbury) Ltd, and we thank you for being a part of our story.
