When driving around Chattanooga, you may have seen these red trucks parked outside of local schools or restaurants.

The trucks are delivering produce + dairy products from T&T Produce, a family-owned and operated business that just celebrated its 36th anniversary.

T&T not only provides services to the Chattanooga area, but anywhere within a 200-mile radius, including Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and Kentucky. These folks are also the largest egg distributor in the state of Tennessee.

COO Tanner Buchanan said one thing that makes T&T different is not only its emphasis on offering the best quality products but building relationships + providing great customer service that goes the extra mile.

T&T has long-standing partnerships ranging from public schools, hospitals, government institutions, and local restaurants that reflect the integrity of their business.

The business has grown to operate over 50 trucks and vans, offer hundreds of products, and recently expanded its warehouse operations to a 27,000-sqft facility in nearby Ringgold, GA.

But T&T isn’t stopping there, Buchanan said they are currently accepting new partners + are looking to work with local food banks to give back to the community — opportunities can be shared via email.

Give T&T a follow on Instagram for updates, behind-the-scenes looks at operations, and product + partner spotlights.
