THE
MOLLY'S
STORY
In 2011, we looked for a way to better control the consistent output of high quality grapes shipped and delivered to our customers. A few years later, the Molly’s Sun Select brand has become a staple in the industry. Being family owned and operated, we take a special pride in the quality of the fruit and service we provide.
Our partnerships are created only with growers who guarantee the same quality and effort that our staff delivers in selling and marketing these great products. Molly’s strives to produce both the product and the experience today’s consumer is looking for.

The Molly's Advantage
In order to ensure consistency, fruit packed in a Molly’s handle bag, clamshell or box is the best fruit that each grower has to offer. Not only does Molly’s select top-tier growers, but only the best fruit from each block. Additionally, Molly’s versatile operation allows for a fully customizable portfolio of pack styles as well as most of the sought-after varieties. Our knowledge of the industry, creative thinking, personal touch and exceptional service allows us to meet the needs of any retail, food service distributor or wholesaler, while still providing the product and experience the consumer expects.
