A Peltz & sons was a wholesale food distribution company that was founded in 1896 by Adolph, his grandfather.

Nelson always had a back up in form of his family business, so he always wanted to explore new opportunities.

In just a span of 10-15 years, the Peltz brothers were able to deliver institutional frozen foods. The company was later renamed to “Flagstaff Corp” and bought the Peltz family many riches. However, Nelson Peltz did not stop just there and was smart enough to reinvest instead of staying stagnant that eventually made his business empire even bigger over the course of just few years.
