Rob developed a successful sales territory in Vancouver, BC. The demand for fine foods grew and quickly and Lekker expanded service to the surrounding areas on the mainland.
Due to increased demand and escalating sales, Lekker outgrew their warehouse and office space. In 2006, Richard purchased a new 12,000 square foot facility in beautiful Victoria, BC which is now known as Lekker’s Headquarters.
Lekker opened a distribution facility in Richmond, British Columbia to keep up with the growing demand in Vancouver and the lower mainland areas.
Lekker expanded their product offerings by taking over Richardson Foods Group (based out of Nanaimo). Lekker also increased product listings into Alberta.
As sales escalated, Lekker opened a new sales office in Nanaimo. The Vancouver sales team rapidly grew to keep up with demand.
A marketing team was created to offer assistance to our manufacturers and sales force. Vancouver and lower mainland business continued to boom.
Lekker positioned a company sales representative in Kelowna to focus on business opportunities in the Okanagan region of British Columbia.
Lekker hired a company representative in Prince George, British Columbia and in Calgary, Alberta (another milestone). Lekker also incorporated a new company logo and ventured into social media with Instagram, Pinterest, & Twitter.
