Vintage Food Corporation grew from Levent Demirgil’s Brooklyn food stores, opened in 1992, into a specialty-food distributor serving retailers and food-service businesses across the United States and Canada. After moving its headquarters to Kearny, New Jersey, in 2011, the company joined Ziyad Brothers in 2023 and now operates from a 148,000-square-foot warehouse. Its history also includes launching halal meat manufacturing under the MERVE brand in 2001.
