A mail-order food company specializing in high-end, gourmet foods like smoked salmon and caviar, expanded operations to a warehouse space in Owings Mills.
Chesapeake Fine Food Group, LLC leased 6,300 square-feet of warehouse and office space for their business of shipping perishable food products, says Kate Glenn, vice president of marketing for Chesapeake Fine Food Group.
The company previously subleased spaced in Essex. With their relocation, the company hopes they have found a home for the long term and plans to take more space in the area eventually, Glenn says.
The space only required minor modifications before they moved in this month, Glenn says.
Chesapeake Fine Food Group is the parent company of three mail-order catalogs:
Mackenzie Limited,
Chesapeake Bay Crab Cakes & More, and
Impromptu Gourmet. The space serves as a shipping center for foods from all three catalogs.
Glenn says the company works with more than 100 vendors across the country and uses another center in Wisconsin to fill the majority of orders. The most common items processed at the Baltimore location are its gift baskets, chocolate, and caviar. The company is highly seasonal and does 70 percent of its business between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The company added two employees over the past year and plans to add another two by the year's end.
