Food distributor moves HQ to Bonita Springs

BONITA SPRINGS — Innovative Food Holdings, a specialty food distributor to chefs and gourmets, plans to move its headquarters from Naples to Bonita Springs, the company says in corporate filings.

The publicly traded company recently acquired a 10,000-square-foot building that contains both office and warehouse space at 28411 Race Track Road in Bonita Springs for $770,000.

Innovative Food plans to move its headquarters to the building it acquired in Bonita Springs in about four months, the filing says. It acquired the property as part of a bank short sale.
