This is a rare opportunity to acquire a 44-year-old regional sales and distribution company, servicing the restaurant and fast-food industry across the U.S. and select international markets. The business comes with two owned warehouse/office facilities (over 28,000 sq. ft. combined), a streamlined inventory model, a long-standing customer base, and built-in income from existing real estate leases.
Current ownership is retiring but will provide hands-on transition support for up to six months post-close.

- Primary Revenue: Sales and distribution of consumable restaurant goods
- Seasoned flour/breading
- Filtration supplies (papers, powders)
- Takeout containers
- Additional restaurant industry products
Facilities:
- 20,000 sq. ft. warehouse/office (partially leased, income-generating)
- 8,160 sq. ft. facility (fully leased, stable tenant base)
- Combined real estate included in asking price
Assets Included:
- Forklift, pallet shelving, pallet jacks

Growth Potential;
This business has strong fundamentals and infrastructure but is significantly under-leveraged in terms of market reach and sales strategy. A new owner could scale aggressively by:
- Building out a direct sales team
- Expanding into underserved product verticals (e.g., smallwares, foodservice equipment)
- Establishing an online and digital presence (currently minimal)
- Opening additional regional warehouses to reduce delivery times and increase volume
- Targeting institutional buyers (schools, hospitals, regional chains)
Territory currently spans from Utah to the East Coast and includes international shipping to Puerto Rico and Grenada. There is substantial white space in the Southern U.S. that has not been fully developed.
Competitive Advantage:
- 44-year operational track record
- Highly scalable product model
- Low fixed overhead (minimal staff, lean operation)
- Real estate cash flow offsets operating costs
- Prime access to major highways (I-20, I-30, I-69, US 80, 271, 59, 259, 69)
- Located in a tax-advantaged, low cost-of-living region with high growth
Financials & Deal Structure:
- Business and real estate offered together; seller will not consider separating assets
- Financials available upon execution of NDA
- Ideal for strategic acquirers, private equity, or experienced operators in the foodservice supply, distribution, or B2B consumables space
- Seller financing negotiable for qualified buyers
- Transition assistance available for up to 6 months
Reason for Sale:
Owner is retiring after four decades of stable, profitable operation. Motivated to transition the business to a capable operator or firm that can continue serving its loyal customer base and take the business to its next phase of growth.
