Foodservice Distributors in the USA: Complete Directory by State

A buyer-focused directory of national broadliners, regional independents, specialty distributors, and cash-and-carry alternatives

Browse the foodservice manufacturer directory, compare wholesale sellers, or explore product categories while you build your shortlist.

Finding a foodservice distributor is easy. Finding the right one is harder. A national broadliner may have the deepest catalogue and the best technology, yet a regional distributor may deliver more often, carry the local products your customers recognize, or take a smaller account more seriously. The difference usually shows up after the first missed delivery, substitution, or emergency order.

This directory covers all 50 states plus Washington, D.C. and profiles 18 distributors with current U.S. foodservice operations. It is built for restaurants, caterers, hotels, schools, healthcare kitchens, clubs, and other commercial food buyers. The state table is a starting point, not a claim that every company serves every ZIP code in a state. Delivery boundaries, minimums, and account requirements often change by branch. ^[1][2][3]

Sysco and US Foods are the two broadest national starting points. Performance Foodservice is another major multi-state broadliner, while Gordon Food Service is particularly strong across the Midwest, Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and selected Texas and Florida markets. Regional companies become more interesting once geography matters: Shamrock in the West, Ben E. Keith in the South and Southwest, Cheney Brothers in the Southeast, Cash-Wa and Martin Bros. in the central Midwest, Saval in the Mid-Atlantic, Dennis in northern New England, Y. Hata in Hawaii, and several strong local operators elsewhere. ^{[1][2][3][4][5]}

1. Directory Scope and What Qualifies

A company is included when it currently distributes food or foodservice supplies to commercial operators in the United States and has a verifiable website, service footprint, customer route, or operating location. Broadliners receive the most attention because they can replace several vendors at once. Regional broadliners are included when their route coverage is clearly documented. A few specialty and cash-and-carry options are discussed separately because they solve problems that scheduled delivery does not.

Manufacturers that sell only their own products are excluded. Retail supermarkets are excluded. Dot Foods is also not treated as a restaurant distributor here because its core model is redistribution to other distributors, although it is an important supply-chain partner behind many foodservice catalogues. KeHE is primarily a grocery, natural, and specialty distributor; it serves some foodservice locations but is not a direct substitute for a restaurant broadliner in most situations. ^[25][26]

Last full verification: August 28, 2026. Placement is editorial. No company paid for inclusion. Publicly unavailable fields are marked as unverified rather than estimated.

2. How the Companies Were Selected

The research started with official company location pages, customer onboarding pages, online-ordering documentation, and current product or category pages. A distributor had to show that it is active and serving foodservice buyers now. Service area claims came from company pages wherever possible. Current corporate filings were used for national network size when they offered clearer numbers than marketing pages.

Each company was checked for:

• Active U.S. foodservice operations and a working customer or sales contact route.
• A documented delivery footprint, distribution center network, or named service market.
• Commercial product breadth: food, beverages, disposables, equipment, specialty products, or a clearly defined subset.
• Online ordering or customer-portal availability when the distributor publishes it.
• Publicly stated minimums or onboarding requirements when available.
• A catalogue, product page, seasonal guide, or customer-only ordering system that confirms commercial assortment.

4. Foodservice Distributors by State

Use this table as a shortlist. 'Verify ZIP' means the company has a national or nearby network but the exact route boundary was not published for every part of the state. Regional names are included only where the company publishes a location or service area that supports the listing.

5. Provider Profiles

Sysco - Best National Starting Point

Sysco is the obvious first call when a buyer wants the broadest national network. The company describes itself as the world's largest food-away-from-home distributor and reported 333 distribution centers in 10 countries for fiscal 2026, with about 670,000 customer locations. U.S. customers include restaurants, healthcare, education, lodging, and entertainment. ^[1]

Ordering is handled through Sysco Shop and the customer portal. Unlike many broadliners, Sysco also keeps a public product catalogue on Sysco Foodie. That catalogue is genuinely useful before opening an account because it shows representative pack sizes and SUPC numbers; for example, current listings include #10 canned fruit, 20-pound bread crumbs, 5-pound produce packs, and restaurant chemicals. ^[6]

Best for restaurants that want one national relationship, a large private-label assortment, specialty-company access, and mature ordering technology. The weak point is the same one that applies to every giant distributor: local service still depends on the operating company, route, rep, and warehouse. Check the ZIP and delivery schedule rather than assuming the national logo means identical service everywhere.

US Foods - Strongest Digital Buying Experience

US Foods partners with about 250,000 customer locations nationwide and operates more than 70 broadline locations plus more than 90 cash-and-carry stores. Independent restaurants are a major part of its customer mix, alongside chains, healthcare, hospitality, and education. ^[2]

The company's MOXē platform is one of the most developed ordering systems in this directory. Customers can search products, see inventory, track deliveries, manage invoices, pay bills, use saved lists, and access food-cost tools. US Foods states that minimum order requirements vary by location and that standard account applicants need a valid business license or EIN and commercial business address. Full pricing and product details require an account. ^[7][8]

For a small restaurant, the cash-and-carry CHEF'STORE network can matter almost as much as truck delivery because there is no membership requirement. That gives buyers an emergency purchasing option without changing distributors. ^[9]

Performance Foodservice - Major Multi-State Broadliner

Performance Foodservice operates 65 distribution centers and says it serves more than 125,000 customers. Its location network runs across much of the country, with current distribution centers listed in markets including Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Tennessee, among others. ^[3]

Customers order through systems such as CustomerFirst, PerformanceNet, and TRACS Direct. The company carries national brands and its own branded products, and it serves everything from independent restaurants to national chains. Performance also absorbed Reinhart Foodservice and, more recently, Cheney Brothers into the larger PFG network. ^[10][11]

Performance is worth comparing directly against Sysco and US Foods when there is a nearby distribution center. Local density matters: a distributor with a warehouse close to the restaurant may offer better route flexibility than a competitor whose nearest operation is several hours away.

Gordon Food Service - Broadline Delivery Plus Open Stores

Gordon Food Service combines route distribution with a large retail-store network. Its current U.S. distribution centers include Aberdeen, Maryland; two Michigan locations; Coppell and Houston, Texas; Douglasville, Georgia; Imperial, Pennsylvania; Kannapolis, North Carolina; Kenosha, Wisconsin; Miami and Plant City, Florida; Shepherdsville, Kentucky; Springfield, Ohio; and Taunton, Massachusetts. ^[4]

Restaurants, schools, hospitals, and hospitality operators are named customer groups. Gordon also promotes a Quick Start self-service program, and its stores are open without membership. That makes GFS unusually useful for operators who want a regular broadliner and a backup source for same-day purchases.

Do not assume a nearby store means truck delivery is available to the same ZIP. Store coverage and distribution routes are separate questions.

Shamrock Foods - Best Western Regional Broadliner

Shamrock Foods explicitly names Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming in its western footprint. The company serves restaurants, hospitality, and institutional foodservice customers and operates broadline warehouses in Phoenix, Boise, Denver, Albuquerque, Billings, and Eastvale, California. ^[5]

Shamrock also operates Foodservice Warehouse locations where buyers can pick up products. That is useful in markets where an operator needs an item before the next scheduled delivery.

Western restaurants should compare Shamrock with the national broadliners rather than treating it as a niche alternative. In its core markets it is a full broadline competitor.

Ben E. Keith Foods - Large Independent Across the South and Southwest

Ben E. Keith says its food division is a complete broadline distributor serving 20 states. Current divisions include Carolina, Florida, Mid-South, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Southeast, West Texas, Dallas/Fort Worth, Gulf Coast, and San Antonio. The Southeast division specifically states that it serves all of Alabama, eastern Mississippi, western Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle. ^[12][13]

The company carries broadline food, fresh and frozen products, produce, and center-of-the-plate items. Its scale is large enough for chains and institutions, yet the company remains independent rather than part of Sysco, US Foods, or PFG.

Because the 20-state footprint is wider than the named warehouse list, buyers should confirm the exact branch and route before assuming coverage.

Cheney Brothers - Southeast Broadline with Strong Specialty Departments

Cheney Brothers currently delivers throughout Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Its network includes major facilities in Riviera Beach, Punta Gorda, Ocala, Port St. Lucie, Statesville, and the new Florence, South Carolina distribution center. Performance Food Group acquired Cheney Brothers in 2024, but the Cheney brand and customer operations remain visible. ^[14][15]

The product mix goes well beyond dry grocery. Cheney lists beverage, produce, meat and poultry, Latin, deli, seafood, disposables, janitorial, warewashing, equipment, and kitchen design. Cheney Central provides online ordering. Its FAQ also says established customers can request special orders, and limited-area same-day service has a $75 minimum. Regular route minimums are not published. ^[16]

Independent restaurants in the Southeast should put Cheney on the shortlist, especially if meat, seafood, Latin items, or restaurant equipment matter.

Cash-Wa Distributing - Strong Central Plains Coverage

Cash-Wa's Kearney operation lists Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, and North Dakota in its service area. The company also operates distribution centers in Aberdeen, South Dakota and Fargo, North Dakota. ^[17]

The Fargo operation describes a true broadline customer mix: hotels, fine dining, casual restaurants, schools, healthcare, and quick-service restaurants. Cash-Wa is particularly useful in states where the giant national distributors may cover wide territories from fewer facilities.

For rural and secondary markets, route day and emergency-service policies may matter more than catalogue size. Ask those questions early.

Martin Bros. - Midwest Independent with a Published Fill Rate

Martin Bros. serves Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Its Cedar Falls, Iowa operation carries more than 11,000 foodservice products, and the company publishes a 99.3% fill rate for the facility. ^[18]

Food and non-food items are both part of the offer, including disposables, janitorial supplies, smallwares, and operational technology. Martin Bros. is a good example of why regional distributors deserve a quote even when a national broadliner is available: route density and local service can outweigh sheer corporate scale.

Restaurants in its Midwest footprint should compare delivered cost, fill rate, substitute policy, and route frequency side by side with Sysco, US Foods, and GFS.

Saval Foodservice - Mid-Atlantic Independent Broadliner

Saval serves restaurants across Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, and southern Pennsylvania from its Elkridge, Maryland distribution center. The company publishes online ordering and online payment tools and says prospective customers may submit a credit application. ^[19][20]

Saval does have a delivery minimum, but it does not publish the current amount; buyers are told to contact a sales rep or customer service. That is exactly the sort of field this directory leaves unfilled rather than guessing.

For independent restaurants between Philadelphia and Roanoke, Saval is worth comparing with the national broadliners because its footprint is concentrated rather than spread nationwide.

What Chefs Want - Chef-Focused Regional Network

What Chefs Want says its trucks deliver to more than 16,000 customers in selected cities across Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, and Tennessee. The company operates warehouses in Louisville, Nashville, Lexington, Cincinnati, Columbus, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Chattanooga, and Colorado markets, among others. ^[21][22]

The appeal is the product mix and chef orientation: produce, proteins, seafood, dairy, specialty goods, and kitchen staples are sold through a network built around frequent restaurant delivery. Exact city coverage matters, so use the company's ZIP checker before assuming statewide service.

This is a particularly useful second distributor when a broadliner covers commodity items but the kitchen wants better produce or specialty depth.

Dennis Food Service - Northern New England Independent

Dennis Food Service is based in Hampden, Maine and describes itself as Maine and New Hampshire's broadline foodservice leader. Its sales and delivery teams operate throughout both states, and the company publishes a customer account application, credit paperwork, and a newer online ordering platform with web and mobile access. ^[23][24]

Dennis also publishes actual featured SKUs on its website, including item numbers and case packs. That makes it easier for a prospective buyer to see the kind of foodservice inventory it carries before starting the account process.

For independent operators in Maine and New Hampshire, Dennis is a credible local alternative to Sysco and US Foods rather than simply a specialty house.

Y. Hata & Co. - Hawaii's Local Broadline Specialist

Y. Hata operates statewide in Hawaii with distribution hubs on Oahu, Kauai, and Hawaii Island. It serves single- and multi-location restaurants, schools, military accounts, hotels, healthcare, and other foodservice customers. ^[27][28]

The company's ChefZone cash-and-carry operation is designed for smaller restaurants, caterers, and food trucks, while established Y. Hata customers receive access to a 24/7 e-commerce portal with pricing, sizes, ingredients, and other product details. ^[29]

Hawaii is a market where local logistics matter enormously. A mainland national distributor may have a familiar name, but Y. Hata's island infrastructure and local inventory make it one of the first companies a Hawaii operator should evaluate.

Palmer Food Services - New York Independent with In-House Protein Capability

Palmer Food Services is a fifth-generation wholesale distributor based in Rochester, New York. It describes its broadline territory as Buffalo to Brooklyn and beyond, serving independent restaurants, K-12, colleges, healthcare, gaming, and hospitality. ^[30][31]

Palmer also operates custom meat production and a will-call location in Rochester. That can reduce the number of vendors required for restaurants that buy a meaningful amount of center-of-the-plate protein.

Coverage across New York is large but not automatically every ZIP. Ask for route days and the nearest branch contact before comparing prices.

Harbor Foodservice - Pacific Northwest Broadliner

Harbor Foodservice is based in Kent, Washington and supplies restaurants, hospitality, healthcare, education, and catering customers across its Northwest food community. The company says it carries well over 10,000 products and 17 exclusive brands. ^[32]

Harbor is one of the few companies in this directory that publishes a meaningful delivery threshold: its scheduled-route model is designed for customers buying approximately 30 cases per delivery. Small operators below that level may fit Harbor Wholesale or another cash-and-carry option better. ^[33]

That minimum makes Harbor easy to screen. A restaurant ordering 50 cases twice a week should call. A coffee shop buying six cases probably should not.

Nicholas and Company - Independent Mountain West Broadliner

Nicholas and Company is an independently owned broadline distributor in the Mountain West. Its current facilities are in Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, and Reno, and the company operates more than 100 trucks and trailers. It serves local independents, chains, and institutions. ^[34][35]

Customers can order through NICCO Online, and the company publishes seasonal guides through its customer center. Its geographic advantage is obvious in Utah and Nevada, where it can be compared directly with Sysco, US Foods, and Shamrock.

The public site describes the broader Mountain West without listing every ZIP. Buyers outside Utah and Nevada should verify the delivery territory before treating it as a local option.

Labatt Food Service - Texas and New Mexico Network

Labatt operates warehouses in San Antonio, Lubbock, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, and Albuquerque, plus shuttle hubs in El Paso, Corpus Christi, Austin, and Harlingen. ^[36]

That footprint makes it a serious Texas alternative rather than a single-market distributor. It is also one of the few large regional choices with a physical warehouse in Albuquerque, which matters to New Mexico buyers.

Labatt's public website gives clear location and customer-service contacts but less public catalogue detail than Sysco or US Foods. Buyers should request an order guide and sample pricing from the branch serving their market.

Atlantic Food Distributors - Statewide Ohio Option

Atlantic Food Distributors publishes statewide Ohio service, more than 8,000 foodservice products, temperature-controlled delivery, online tracking, same-day service, and six-day delivery. It also describes its delivery minimums as low, although the exact number is not published. ^[37][38]

That makes Atlantic worth checking for Ohio independents that want a regional alternative to the national broadliners. The company also operates USDA-inspected processing capability.

Ask for the actual minimum, route schedule, and product guide before comparing it with a national account.

6. How to Choose the Right Distributor

Start with the delivery route, not the sales presentation. A distributor that can deliver six days a week and recover from a missed item quickly may be cheaper in practice than one with a lower case price and a rigid twice-weekly route.

Score shortlisted distributors on the following points:

A single broadliner is simpler. Two or three distributors can be safer. Many independent restaurants use one broadliner for the bulk of dry, frozen, dairy, and disposables, then add a produce, seafood, meat, bakery, or ethnic specialist. That creates more invoices and delivery windows, but it also prevents one distributor's out-of-stock from shutting down the menu.

7. Ordering and Onboarding Checklist

Account opening is usually easier if the buyer has the paperwork ready. US Foods, for example, asks for LLC details, resale-tax information, banking information, a business license or EIN, and a commercial address. Dennis publishes a credit application and EFT paperwork. Cheney Brothers provides an online credit application. ^[8][16][24]

• Legal business name, DBA, EIN/tax ID, and resale certificate where applicable.
• Commercial delivery address, receiving hours, loading restrictions, and contact person.
• Ownership or LLC information and banking references if credit terms are requested.
• Expected weekly order size, number of locations, and preferred delivery days.
• A sample order guide containing the restaurant's 50-100 most important items.
• Current supplier invoices or item specifications when requesting comparable products.
• Allergen, dietary, religious, sustainability, or brand requirements that cannot be substituted.

Before signing or moving volume, ask:

• What is the minimum order for my route and what fees apply below it?
• Which days do you deliver to this ZIP and what is the order cutoff?
• How are substitutions handled? Can I block automatic substitutes on critical items?
• How quickly are shorts, damages, and credits resolved?
• Can you special-order an item, and does it require a case commitment or deposit?
• What happens when my normal delivery day falls on a holiday?
• Can I pick up from will-call or a warehouse if I run short?
• Do contract prices include fuel, delivery, and other surcharges?
• What private-label products are equivalent to the national brands I use now?

8. Regional, Specialty, and Cash-and-Carry Alternatives

Broadliners are not the only route to market. Baldor Specialty Foods is a strong Northeast produce and specialty option with warehouses serving New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington-area customers. The Chefs' Warehouse focuses on premium and specialty products in major culinary markets. Lipari Foods distributes specialty and ethnic products across a multi-state network. KeHE can be useful for natural, organic, specialty, and fresh products, although its core customer base is retail rather than restaurants. ^[39][40][26]

A few states also have strong independents that deserve a direct call. Linford of Alaska supplies specialty foodservice accounts from Anchorage. S&W Foods is a broadline distributor in southeast Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Quality Food Company covers Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and southeastern Connecticut. Black River Produce serves restaurants across Vermont and parts of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and eastern New York. A.F. Wendling is a West Virginia broadliner with more than 9,000 products, while Valley Wholesale Foods serves Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky. ^{[44][45][46][47][48]}

Cash-and-carry is the other important alternative. US Foods CHEF'STORE is open without membership. Gordon Food Service stores are also open to the public. Y. Hata's ChefZone serves Hawaii foodservice buyers. Restaurant Depot remains a major national cash-and-carry chain; Sysco announced an agreement to acquire Jetro Restaurant Depot in March 2026, but the announcement should not be treated as proof that the transaction has closed until a completion notice is published. ^{[9][4][29][41]}

When a needed product is outside a distributor's normal assortment, ask the rep whether it can be special-ordered, drop-shipped, sourced through a specialty affiliate, or added through a direct marketplace. US Foods Direct and Sysco Marketplace are examples of systems designed to expand the assortment beyond what is physically stocked on the local truck. ^[42][43]

9. Frequently Asked Questions

Who are the largest foodservice distributors in the USA?

Sysco, US Foods, and Performance Foodservice are the main national broadline names to compare. Gordon Food Service is another large multi-state operator. Regional companies such as Shamrock, Ben E. Keith, Cheney Brothers, Cash-Wa, Martin Bros., and Saval can be equally important inside their core territories.

Which distributors work with small independent restaurants?

Many do, but the practical answer depends on order size. Sysco and US Foods serve independents, while regional distributors often emphasize local restaurants. Cash-and-carry formats such as CHEF'STORE, GFS stores, and ChefZone are useful when an account is too small for a delivery minimum.

Do foodservice distributors publish prices online?

Usually not for full-service delivery accounts. Prices are commonly account-specific. US Foods explicitly says full pricing requires an account, and most broadliners use customer-only portals. Cash-and-carry stores are more likely to show direct prices.

What minimum order should a restaurant expect?

There is no national standard. US Foods says minimums vary by location. Harbor publishes an approximate 30-case target for scheduled delivery. Saval confirms that it has a minimum but tells buyers to contact the rep for the current amount. Other distributors often quote the minimum only after they know the route and account.

Can a restaurant use more than one distributor?

Yes. Many independents use one broadliner plus one or more specialists for produce, seafood, meat, bakery, ethnic products, or emergency purchases. The added complexity is worthwhile when it improves quality, availability, or price on important categories.

How should a restaurant open an account?

Start with the company's customer form or local sales office. Have the legal business information, tax ID, commercial address, banking references, expected weekly volume, and an initial product list ready. Ask for the route schedule, minimum, fee structure, credit terms, and online-ordering access before moving purchases.

10. Final Buying Advice

Do not choose a distributor from a logo list. Build a basket of the products the restaurant actually buys, give the same basket to three suppliers, and compare delivered cost, substitutes, route days, minimums, and fill performance. Then test the relationship with a real order.

The national broadliners are usually the easiest place to start. Regional distributors deserve the second call. In many markets, that second quote is where the better route schedule, local product knowledge, or more attentive sales service shows up.

Research Notes and Sources

Research reviewed August 28, 2026. Delivery territories, minimums, store counts, case packs, customer requirements, distributor ownership, and product availability can change. Verify the exact ZIP code and account terms with the distributor before publishing a local claim or moving purchasing volume.

Suggested Original Assets and Internal Links

The strongest web version would add a filterable supplier database, state map, last-verified date on every listing, downloadable scoring worksheet, and a field for buyer-submitted corrections. Each state page can then link back to this national directory while carrying more local distributors than a single article can reasonably profile.

Useful internal links: foodservice manufacturer profiles, state distributor pages, foodservice tomato and sauce suppliers, meat and seafood distributors, produce distributors, cash-and-carry guides, #10 can product guides, distributor account-opening guides, and a restaurant supplier comparison worksheet.
