Meet the Team

Justin Erickson - Owner, CEO Harbor Foods

Justin is the 4th generation owner and CEO of Harbor Foods, parent company of Harbor Wholesale, Harbor Foodservice and Northlink Logistics. Justin started with Harbor as a teen working for his father Mike Erickson, third generation owner, and later became CEO when Mike decided to hand over the business.

Justin’s favorite part of the Summit? “Getting to know our customers and their families. We all work hard in our businesses each day and the Summit is a great reminder that we’re all in this together, retailers, suppliers and Harbor. We’re all about family and community, and the Summit allows us to build relationships that have lasted generations.”

An entire crew of Harbor Team Members will be on-hand and available to answer your questions, take care of any requests or just chat and get to know each other. Just look for one of these smiling faces.
