Our story

Apna Foods was founded in December 2011 by Pardeep Salwan with the vision of providing high-quality South Asian products to the U.S. and Canada. Starting in a small space, our growing demand led us to expand to a larger facility at 360 South Lombard in Addison, IL, just three years later.

As a family business still led by Pardeep Salwan, we are committed to maintaining high standards and personal service. We partner with esteemed brands such as Parliament Rice, Pachranga Farm Fresh, Badshah Masala, Tamicon, Ganesh Papad, Lijjat Papad, and Pran Foods to offer top-notch products.

Today, Apna Foods distributes our own “Apna” products along with those of our partners to restaurants and stores across the U.S. and Canada, sharing a genuine taste of South Asia.

Our Mission

At Apna Foods, we strive to provide authentic South Asian products with superior quality and dedicated service. Our mission is to support restaurants and grocery stores across the U.S. and Canada while contributing to our community and promoting ethical practices. We aim to build lasting relationships and positively impact those we interact with through our commitment to excellence and integrity.
