What we deliver

Built around the fryer. Stocked for the whole line.

We made our name on French fries, and we still move more of them than anything else. Everything else on the truck is there because our customers asked for it.

Why independent matters

Big-broadline selection. Corner-store accountability.

The national distributors are built for the national chains. We're built for the taquería, the burger stand, the diner and the family restaurant that has to get it right every single day.

  • Order minimums that make sense for an independent kitchen, not a 400-unit chain.
  • Drivers who know your back door and put product where you want it — not on the sidewalk.
  • Straight pricing on the items you actually move, backed by the buying power of the Frosty Acres cooperative.
  • Sixty-plus years of relationships in this market — some of our customers are on their third generation with us.

The operation

Cold chain, kept.
Routes, run daily.

Our Commerce warehouse sits minutes from the 5, the 710 and the 60 — which means we're minutes from most of the kitchens we serve. Product comes off the reefer, into our freezer, and onto your truck without sitting around.

  • 01Frozen, refrigerated and dry, all on one delivery
  • 02Early-morning routes across Greater Los Angeles and Orange County
  • 03Order by phone, text or email — whatever works in your kitchen
  • 04Cases checked at the dock, not blamed on the driver later

Our story

A family legacy more than 60 years in the making.

We started in 1958 as Wallace Produce, run by Jim Wallace out of Los Angeles. When Jim passed away in 1993 the family renamed the company Sweet Jimmy's Foods in his memory — and kept the same promise: good product at a fair price, and stand behind it.

Today we're a proud member of Frosty Acres Brands, a national cooperative of independent distributors — which gives our customers national buying power without giving up the local service they came to us for.
