Sardilli will Continue Its Produce Distribution for all Mohegan Sun Owned and Operated Restaurants Including Todd English’s Tuscany, Season’s Buffett and the all-new novelle
UNCASVILLE, CT – Mohegan Sun is 
excited to announce a recent multi-year produce contract being awarded to Sardilli Produce & Dairy. Mohegan Sun has worked with the longstanding Hartford, CT based company for the past eight years. In the past three years alone, have purchased more than 18,000 cases and more than 490,000 lbs. of produce from local farmers, and supporting Connecticut Agriculture – marks that will continue under the extended partnership.
“We certainly had interest in other big players for this contract but based on the well-established relationship, exceptional service and overall great product that Sardilli provides, the choice wasn’t very difficult in the end,” said Jeff Hamilton, President & GM of Mohegan Sun. “They’ll continue food distribution to more than ten restaurants here at Mohegan Sun, and that’s in addition to our back of house grill that we have for thousands of team members. Great local partners like Sardilli Produce & Dairy are extremely crucial to our vast food & beverage operations and we’re happy to announce the continued work together.”
“All of us at Sardilli Produce and Dairy are excited to extend our long lasting business relationship with Mohegan and continue to work with people who value our hard work, dedication and supporting a family owned and operated Connecticut Company,” said Devin Sardilli, Vice President of Sales. “It is a pleasure to service this organization and we look forward to doing so for many years to come.”
Sardilli Produce actually started as a fruit stand on Queen Street in Southington, CT in 1955 by Guido Sardilli. By 1975, his son, Don Sardilli, started wholesaling produce out of the back of the fruit stand, eventually calling it Sardilli Fruit and Produce. They now operate as Sardilli Produce & Dairy out of a 30,000 square-foot facility on Locust Street in Hartford, CT. They look to move into a renovated 225,000 square-foot facility in Windsor, CT in 2020. The new state-of-the-art location will handle their needs for distribution, office space and value added produce manufacturing.
