Before long, Tommy Malave, Jr. joined his father, expanding the business beyond private residences to stores and restaurants. The one-man, one-truck operation was now a two-man, two-truck enterprise.
BAND OF BROTHERS.
Bartlett Dairy incorporated in 1990, and soon all five of Mr.
Malave's sons became part of the family business. Michael, Kenny,
Jimmy, Donald and Tommy all had the foresight to work for other
dairies, gaining invaluable experience before coming together to
carry on and magnify their father's dairy distribution business,
which today includes more than 800 perishable and non-perishable
items.
Since 1990, Bartlett Dairy has become a multi-million-dollar
corporation thanks to a wide range of clients like schools,
institutions, hospitals, retailers, restaurants and supermarkets.
(One of Bartlett Dairy's largest and most loyal clients is java
giant Starbucks.) The company is growing at about 25% per
year.
Today, with 3 locations Bartlett serves New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Ohio. With a fleet of more than
100 tractor-trailers and straight trucks, we guarantee next-day
delivery on most orders. Bartlett's corporate facility is located
across from New York City's only dairy processing plant to provide
the freshest milk throughout the tri-state area.
