The buyer for Hanford’s historic Superior Dairy has been revealed.
The city announced Thursday that the Zonneveld family has purchased Superior Dairy.
Driving the news: Founded in 1929, Superior Dairy had remained in the same family for nearly a century, until owner Tim Jones put it up for sale last year for $2.5 million
- Jones said at the time that no one in the family was willing to step in and take over operations, hoping that he could find a family to continue its legacy.
- Superior Dairy has operated on a take-out basis since March 2020, when it closed its dine-in offering at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic closures.
What they’re saying: The city said in a statement Thursday that the Zonneveld family was interested in purchasing Superior Dairy even before it was put up for sale last year.
- Per the city, the Zonnevelds are passionate about honoring, preserving and building on the tradition of Superior Dairy and are excited to share their vision as their plans develop.
- “We’re going to invest in the facility and its history to make something that’s special for the community,” the family said in a statement. “We grew up going to Superior, and over time we recognized it not only aligned with our larger business plans, but also our love of dairy products, great food, and connecting with a wonderful community that our family has called home for four generations.”
