HISTORY & BACKGROUND ON THE PHIL-AM FOOD SAGA

 
The original company Phil-Am Food Mart Inc. was founded in 1973 in Jersey City.

In 2002, Phil-Am Food Mart, Inc. underwent a corporate separation and reorganization, memorialized by fully executed written agreements, in which its retail division, wholesale distribution, and catering services were wholly and fully separated and transferred to three distinct, newly formed corporate entities.

1. The wholesale distribution division was transferred to Phil-Am Trading.

2. The retail division, without any right of wholesale distribution under the PHIL-AM name, was transferred to Phil-Am Merchandising (“PhilAm Food”) .

3. The catering business was transferred to Casa Victoria, Inc.

The transfers expressly included all respective trademarks, tradenames, customer lists and all associated goodwill for each of the three businesses as applicable to each separate and distinct division.

Shortly after the corporate separation and reorganization, Phil-Am Food Mart, Inc. was dissolved.

The name and mark PHIL-AM has been continuously used in commerce in relation to wholesale distribution service and branded food products since at least 1974, and since the dissolution, exclusively by Phil-Am Trading except for Phil-Am Merchandising’s misappropriation.
