Much has changed since father and son team Domingo and Julio Rene Diaz opened their first grocery store in 1969 in Midtown Atlanta, Georgia. When their business grew to five stores, they recognized the need for a distribution center to serve them, along with the rest of their growing customer base who wanted the unique products they offered – so Diaz Foods was formed in 1980.
