Featured speaker
Jamie Rosenthal
Owner of Greenberg Fruit Company
Greenberg Fruit company was started in 1936 by Elmer
Greenberg on 11th and Howard in Omaha’s Old Market. Elmer later handed control of the business to
his son Don. In 1973, Don moved
Greenberg Fruit Company to a more centrally located location at 9705 I St,
where it still operates. In 1989, the
business was sold to the Rosenthals, who have been running it to this day. Jamie is very proud of Greenberg’s continued
success in fresh fruit and veggies to schools and universities.
