The first picture in our timeline is of Neal Peters in the Netherlands right after World War II, delivering groceries for his father who owned a grocery store outside of Amsterdam. In those days he took the order at the customer's house, brought it back to the shop for preparation, and then delivered it on his bike.

Peters Imports began in 1976 when Neal purchased a small retail store (Van's Dutch Imports) in West Michigan. As his sons joined him in the business, the customer base boomed and our first location was quickly outgrown. We have moved twice since then, and continue to grow and expand. Neal's sons, Ed and Ernie Peters now navigate our ship, but the motto back then, the customer truly is king, does not vary much from our promise to you today: Each and every one of our Team Members is dedicated to giving you the best, most responsive service possible. From customer service to our credit department, from purchasing to order picking, you will receive only our best.

We are very pleased to present our online catalog. We have come a long way from our humble beginnings 28 years ago, when we served our Dutch customers out of an 800-square-foot shop. Thanks to our outstanding group here today, Peters Imports now serves thousands of customers around the country from a state-of-the-art facility. We will be updating our company page frequently, introducing you to all of our departments. Bookmark our site and check back often!
