The creation of the Chicago Terminal Produce Market provided a central selling location for years. As the restaurant industry evolved, so did Testa Produce. In 2011, Testa expanded yet again and moved into its new home: a 91,300-square-foot facility to accommodate an ever-growing list of restaurant, hotel, and food service customers.
