The company begins servicing customers in Canada. Organic growth, and additional Canadian acquisitions in 1996 and 2003, would propel 915 Food Company to become a nation-wide distributor.
915 Food Company initiates the two-trailer hookup system, an industry innovation that enables the food distribution company to cover a wider territory by truck rather than build more distribution centers.
With new distribution centers, and strategic acquisitions, the company expands and grows, becoming the largest privately-owned, family managed foodservice distributor in North America.
Delivering the Superior Food and Support You Need to Excel
Delivering the superior food and support your operation needs.
Based on food, family, and community, one brother loaned another 300 dollars for a dream that’s now Gordon Food Service. Over a century later, we’ve expanded into the largest family-operated food distribution company in North America with a product range and logistical wingspan that both celebrates and trumps our founding days.
When you partner with Gordon Food Service, the same values of food, family, and community that built our business will go into building yours.
