LaManna have established a trusted reputation in
supplying wholesalers and retailers with premium produce, direct from local growers
for well over fifty years. Today, we are bringing you the same top quality produce,
previously only available to a select few, direct to your front door.
In 1953, our Founder, Pasquale (Pat) LaManna opened his first fruit store in West Preston,
Victoria. His reputation for reliable service and commitment to quality quickly
spread from one gossiping neighbour to the next. In true country fashion, Pat started
to make personal deliveries on his way home from the shop to customers who would
not settle for anything less than Pat's quality produce.
Before long, Pat had opened shops in all the major shopping centres in Melbourne
and became the pioneer of home deliveries.
In the 1970's, Pat was joined by his sons Greg and Vince. Together, they ventured
into wholesale Bananas and became the largest Banana wholesaler in Australia with
stores and warehouses across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.
2008 marks a new beginning for the LaManna name as we welcome Pat's grandson, Patrick,
into the business. The third generation of this Australia-owned family business
will continue to provide the public with the best available fruit and vegetables.
In fact, we are turning back the clock with the introduction of LaManna Direct,
bringing back the good old fashioned personal home delivery service!
The LaManna family's business principle and family ethic of "Trust" remain
constant to this day.
