CHICAGO, July 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In the last year, Global Market Foods (GMF), an importer and distributor of specialty brands from around the world, has experienced unprecedented growth, expanding its presence and product offerings through a series of strategic partnerships. To help manage this growth, today, GMF announced the opening of a new 281,000-square-foot warehouse.

Located in Bolingbrook, Illinois, the new facility will provide GMF more than twice the warehouse space compared to its current Midwest warehouse location, giving GMF the opportunity to bring more of its renowned products to customers across the U.S. and Canada. The expansion will allow for GMF to maximize its customer offerings while also reducing costs by housing all its product portfolio under one roof. The space will implement the latest in warehousing technology while also bringing in an updated, eco-friendly, green fleet of transport vehicles. Additionally, the new warehouse will have a dedicated 35,000-square-foot space created solely for storing cooler and frozen items, something that GMF previously could not provide due to space constraints of its prior location.

"The latest phase of our expansion will allow us to create a clearer path-to-market focused on efficiently routing our products to all of our customers throughout North America," stated Chris Lahti, chief operating officer of Global Market Foods. "From our state-of-the-art logistics system that will allow us to better optimize our facility to our newly expansive freezer and cooler warehousing systems, we are set up better than ever to truly be a one-stop-shop for retailers who are seeking the finest in international cuisine."

The GMF warehouse expansion comes on the heels of the company's recent partnership in June 2025 of Asli Fine Foods, an importer and distributor specializing in South Asian and African products. That partnership was the latest in a number of strategic moves made by the company in recent years.

Global Market Foods is an affiliate of Peak Rock Capital, a leading middle-market private investment firm.
