Founded in 1907, S-G-S Produce is a tradition on the Los Angeles Produce Market. From its warehouse on the Ninth Street City Market, it grew from a small horse and buggy operation to the booming, professional business that it is today. Symbolic of the growth is the move to the state-of-the-art S-G-S facilities at 739 Decatur Street, within walking distance of the LA Wholesale Market.
