Company
History
Harrison Grocer
Co. was founded in 1916 by T. E. Milburn to
service grocery stores with products like food,
staple items, feed, and hardware. Through the
years, the company has continued to increase the
product line (candy, tobacco, pet food, paper
products, drugs, health and beauty aids, and
more). The service area continued to expand into
other counties in Arkansas and Missouri. In 1952,
Harrison Grocer Co. bought Pippin Wholesale
Company (a competitor similar to Harrison Grocer
Co.). The products and customer base of Pippin
Wholesale Company has changed from retail
groceries to institutional items over the past
years. The customer base now includes: schools,
hospitals, restaurants, manufacturing, convenience
and grocery stores, and motel facilities. These
two companies were operated under the corporate
name, Harrison Grocer Co., Inc., in 1953. With
the transformation of the two companies over the
years into two distinct businesses with different
product lines and customer bases, the office
functions of the businesses were combined in
1988. We presently operate one company with one
distribution center.
