The San Gabriel Valley (SGV), situated to the east of Downtown Los Angeles, is home to 31 cities and five large unincorporated areas, covering a total of 385 square miles. SGV plays a crucial role as a key transpacific trade hub for Los Angeles and hosts numerous import/export businesses across industries such as food and beverage, logistics, furniture, electronics, and footwear. The wholesale sector is one of the largest in the region, accounting for nearly 25% of local business activity. This sector thrives thanks to the area’s proximity to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the busiest port systems in the United States.
