Canyon Sales Company is built on family — and built on the floor.
Canyon Sales Company LLC has been a fixture at the NYC Terminal Market in the Bronx since the late 1980s — built on relationships, reputation, and a relentless commitment to quality produce.
Our Story
Canyon Sales Company LLC sits at New York City Terminal Market in the Bronx — one of the largest produce distribution hubs in the country. What started as one man's commitment to connecting the best shippers with the buyers who needed them most has grown into a multi-generational brokerage with over 50 years of combined market experience.
Today, Louis and his son Lou, carry that same work ethic into daily operations — maintaining the long-term shipper relationships and buyer trust that define Canyon Sales. The business has never chased volume for its own sake. It has always been about representing the right shippers, the right products, and standing behind every load.
Operating from Stand 346-B at the NYC Terminal Market, Canyon Sales specializes in potatoes, onions and carrots — including representation of GPOD of Idaho in the Northeast market, the premier Russet Burbank shipper in the country.

What We Stand For
Three principles that have guided Canyon Sales since day one.
Relationships First
Every shipper we represent and every buyer we serve is a long-term partner. We don't chase one-off deals — we build the kind of trust that keeps buyers coming back season after season.
Quality Without Compromise
We represent shippers whose standards match ours. If we wouldn't stake our reputation on a load, we won't move it. That's been true since Louis started in business and it's still true today.
Market Knowledge You Can Use
Decades on the floor of the NYC Terminal Market means we understand supply, demand, and pricing in ways that take decades to develop. Our buyers get that knowledge working for them on every order.

Why Work With Canyon Sales?
Direct market access
We operate on the floor of the NYC Terminal Market — one of the most active produce hubs in the country. Buyers get direct access to top-tier shippers and real pricing they can depend on.
Exclusive shipper programs
Canyon Sales holds exclusive or preferred relationships with select shippers, including GPOD of Idaho. That means consistent supply, reliable quality, and pricing you can plan around, year after year.
A team that picks up the phone
Louis, Lou, and Mike are reachable by phone and email. When a buyer has a question or a problem, they talk to someone who knows the account — not a support person. We manage each order with the highest level of care.
Years of Earned Trust
Our reputation at the NYC Terminal Market was built over five decades. Shippers trust us to represent their product honestly. Buyers trust us to deliver what we promise. That track record is not something you can manufacture.
