Goals

I am looking forward to what Flagship Foods can do for La Tortilla Factory. In my 11 years with the company I always wondered why as a tortilla company that we ignored the traditional market but with Flagships recent purchase of Tortilla King and the possibility of selling their items on our DSD trucks I believe it will open up the market for us to distribute to other accounts that we have historically stayed away from.


Between La Tortilla Factory, Tortilla King and 505 Southwestern I am hoping to see an exponential growth in our DSD business and would like to be the one that helps build and lead the team that will make it happen.
