Celebrating Employee Ownership at Tropical Foods

For more than 50 years, Tropical Foods has been a Roxbury institution, serving more than 13,000 customers a week. Today it is employee-owned, and it belongs to the people who run it every day.

Join Apis & Heritage Capital Partners, Tropical Foods' employee-owners, and community partners for a morning celebrating this milestone and what it means for Roxbury.
