Our Heritage is Our Recipe for Success

We offer national brands and superior service to the southeast Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama gulf coast markets.

What We Do

Retail & Food Service Distribution

We view each relationship, whether a customer or a supplier, as a partnership that we expect to last as long as our business has been around. We work hard to ensure deliveries are made on time and the products we sell are made with quality ingredients.

Custom Spice Blends

Whether its for one restaurant or for 100 restaurants, we can custom blend spices to your specifications. Packed in 1 gallon jugs, 5 lb. bags, 10 lb. bags, 20 lb. boxes, or even 50 lb. sacks, no job is too large or too small.

Progress Grocery Prepared Muffulettas & Sandwiches

As one of the founders of Progress Grocery and the original creators of the famous Muffuletta, we produce and distribute prepared whole muffulettas, mini-muffulettas, and gourmet sandwiches.

Family Owned & Operated since 1924
In Our 4th Generation

Progress Grocery was founded by Bartholomew Perrone in 1924 as an Italian grocery store and deli. The birthplace of the New Orleans famous Muffuletta. The following generations have taken the family business to new heights. The company has flourished and grown tremendously into what Perrone and Sons, LLC is today.
