About Peirone Produce Inc
Peirone Produce was founded by Joe Peirone in 1945. At the end of World War II, Joe set up a modest downtown produce shop on what is now considered the University District. Joe and his family ran the company with a simple yet powerful belief that when you treat your employees, suppliers, and customers with respect and dignity, your company will prosper.
In 1986, URM Stores acquired Peirone Produce and allowed it to continue to operate as an autonomous subsidiary company. When Joe Peirone retired, Pat Davidson became the first non-family member to take the role of President and CEO, reporting to the companyÂ’s Board of Directors. Pat successfully continued the legacy of growth at Peirone and was careful to keep the family's core principles in place.
By 2008, Peirone Produce had outgrown its original warehouse facility and was in need of a larger space. Plans were drawn to construct the finest produce warehouse in the Inland Northwest. Peirone's current headquarters in the West Plains is now the largest and most modern facility in the region.
In 2014, Mike Kamphaus became the President and CEO. In the ensuing years, Peirone prospered and has grown into the largest distributor of fresh fruits and vegetables to independent grocers in the Inland Northwest. In the Fall of 2023 Mike Kamphaus retired, Brent Shammo currently serves as the company President. Brent's energy and vision will take Peirone to even greater heights.
We are proud to say that three-quarters of a century later, Peirone still operates under the same core principles of the freshest top quality products, highly competitive prices and a culture of treating employees, growers, and customers with respect and dignity.
