Ownership
RE Golden Produce is a family founded and employee owned wholesale supplier, with current ownership including Devin Golden (President, Owner) and Nick LaLuzerne (Vice President, Owner). The business was founded locally and remains Madison resident-owned.
Local Sourcing
The website mentions "Our Local Providers" and the business emphasizes regional service, but specific sourcing percentages or local supplier commitments are not publicly detailed. The wholesale distributor model suggests a mix of local and national sourcing, but exact composition is unclear.
Community Involvement
RE Golden Produce is listed as a Dane Buy Local member and the company emphasized local service commitment. However, specific evidence of event sponsorships, nonprofit partnerships, or school involvement was not found in available sources.
Local Workforce
One co-owner has 30+ years of experience and grew the company from under $2M to $12M+, emphasizing a 'treat-people-fairly' leadership style. Delivery drivers earn $16.70-16.97 per hour, which is modest. Positive customer reviews mention staff helpfulness, and employee ownership structure suggests better labor practices than typical distributors.
Revenue Retention
RE Golden Produce's revenue is approximately $4.3 million, which remains concentrated in the local/regional food system (Dane County, Milwaukee, Chicago). As an independent, locally-rooted distributor, most revenue likely stays within the regional economy rather than flowing to corporate shareholders.
