FRESH TODAY - 131 YEARS IN BUSINESS

Fresh Today was founded 131 years ago in 1889, Arthur and Mary Ellis, driven by a desire to serve their local community, established a small shop on the Broad Road in Arvagh Co. Cavan. This is the foundation stone of our business today. In 1934, Michael Ellis expanded the business and in the 1940’s he was joined by his sons in the 1940’s when they continued to build successful retail and wholesale businesses. In retail, we look after the needs of our own customers and in wholesale, we deliver to local grocers and small shops to ensure they can continue with a valuable service to their own customers.

The name changed to Gerry Ellis & Sons in 1974 and more recently, as part of our brand and marketing strategy, we became known as Fresh Today. It is still owned and proudly led by the Ellis family who are passionate about preserving the original values of Arthur & Mary. They enjoy great support from all of their employees who are an outstanding, hard-working and loyal team. We use reputable local providers to stock our shelves, and will import from selected countries whenever necessary. We are first to the markets every day to get the first and best choice in fresh fruit and vegetables.
