He joined father Sadru Ahmed and second cousin Salim Ahmed as a principal and the founding managing partner at the import-export company Jentash Marketing in 1985.
Jentash’s initial focus was selling gourmet foods, but it soon started specializing in natural products that had no MSG or preservatives, and then in organic foods when those started becoming more available.
Clients included Capers Community Market, which has evolved to become part of Whole Foods Market. Jentash also supplied food to Choices after founders Wayne Lockhart and brother Lloyd Lockhart opened their first location on West 16th Avenue in 1990.
