I don't have the exact name, but I've been using a produce store that is located near the corner of Tonnelle and Newark Avenue (the store is on Tonnelle). It's set back a bit from the street, across from Singh Pizza) in Little India.
Their fruit quality has been excellent in bulk - far better than what I've seen at BJ's or supermarkets. Good luck!

A place in Jersey City would be 440 farms which is the cheapest of any where I have found and also fresher than Pathmark, Shoprite or A&P. It is on 440 across from the shopping center. They have tons of different fruits plus vegetables, also eggs and dairy plus nuts which is about all they sell and very busy place on Saturdays, they are only open a few hours on Sundays, the weekdays they are also open. They only sell fresh not frozen. In the spring they also have the best selection of plants for gardens whether vegetables many different ones even celery which used to be grown in Jersey City at one time, herbs or flowers and even some trees. They are always first to have things in the spring for planting before Lowes and definately before home depot.
Because of the location they are generally the least expensive of anyone else in the area.

You might consider Costco, also in Clifton. While not everything there is a deal, many things are.

Sorry I don't have any specific recommendations, but generally speaking, for the volume of fruit you need, you may consider speaking to neighborhood grocers to get direct contacts with their wholesalers or talk to restaurant owners for similar suppliers. Alternatively, you could probably strike a deal with the grocers and they could order the fruit for you. I'm sure if you gave them money up front, they would have no problem with that...

Corrado's in Clifton - about 25 minutes north of JC. Just last week I bought a 40 lb. box of bananas for $12 - you can't beat that. They have a warehouse store and an international food mart store.

Looking for a reasonably priced place to get fruit in bulk. I'm looking for about 40 lbs of bananas and strawberries and 20 lbs of rasberries and blueberries every couple of weeks.
Anybody have any good ideas?
