Or, better yet, who is behind that juicy melon you find at your local fruit stand? Today we want to tell you the story of Don Melon, a family-owned company that has been cultivating and distributing the finest melons for decades.
The Beginning: A Dream Come True
It all started over three decades ago, in 1989. Francisco García Roldán, our founder, a visionary and passionate about agriculture, identified a market opportunity: the growing demand for high-quality melons. With great effort and dedication, he decided to embark on this adventure and founded Don Melon.
From a small farm to a melon empire
The first years were full of hard work and learning. In a small warehouse, Francisco and his team dedicated themselves to selecting and preparing the melons to take them to local markets. But demand soon grew, and in 1991, the decision was made to take a big leap: the construction of new 8,000 m2 facilities in Villaconejos.
A family story
The most special thing about Don Melon is that it is a family business. Francisco's children joined the project from a very young age, bringing new ideas and energy. Together, they have managed to turn Don Melon into a benchmark in the sector, thanks to their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
Present and future
Today, Don Melon is a consolidated company with a wide distribution network. Our headquarters are located in Mercamadrid, from where we manage our operations and supply the main markets in the country. But despite having grown, we remain faithful to our origins and our values.
