history

The group of companies was founded in 1926 as August Frey GmbH in Landau in the Palatinate. The business purpose at that time was tobacco manufacture, the wholesale of tobacco products, raw tobacco as well as food and luxury goods of all kinds. Gradually, the food wholesaling became the main business purpose, which was gradually supplemented by own shops.

Run by Dieter Kissel in the third generation as a family business, it was transferred to the Dieter Kissel Foundation after his death on November 22, 2011, which acts as the sole shareholder.
