Owner and CEO Pradip Dhamecha said the deal included provision to sell a selection of TRS and East End-branded products
Dhamecha Cash & Carry has acquired a depot in East London from rival TRS.
The site in Leyton is set to become Dhamecha’s 10th cash & carry. It currently operates seven sites in the capital as well as branches in Birmingham and Leicester.
It is planning to fully refurbish the site over several months before opening.
The wholesaler bought the site from private equity firm Exponent, which acquired TRS and East End Foods in 2019, with the deal set to go through by the end of February. Exponent created a new business called Vibrant Foods to bring the TRS and East End businesses together.

The Unitas Wholesale member said completion on the deal is expected to take place by the end of February.
Chief Executive, Pradip Dhamecha, said: “We have been in discussions with TRS and their owners, Vibrant Foods, for a period of time and are excited to make this addition to our group. The depot will close for several months for renovation and refurbishment. We look forward to welcoming both new and existing customers when the depot re-opens later in 2021.
