J&D Monarch Grocery was founded by Donnie Hackman, a dedicated entrepreneur from Montgomery, Alabama. Donnie began her journey in the grocery industry with US Food Services, where she spent years mastering the ins and outs of wholesale food distribution. Her career eventually brought her to Mobile, Alabama, where she worked for over 25 years, building lasting relationships within the food service community.
When the company closed its doors in 2019, Donnie saw an opportunity to turn her experience and passion into something of her own. After several years of careful planning and determination, she proudly launched J&D Monarch Grocery — a family-owned wholesale grocery business built to serve and support other small and large businesses alike.
Today, J&D Monarch Grocery continues to grow as a trusted partner for restaurants, food trucks, and local enterprises, helping the community thrive together — one bulk order at a time.
