Disrupt the traditional foodservice
supply chain
As a full service distributor, we are
able to provide products directly
to the end user, eliminating the
need for the traditional multi-layer
supply chain
We believe our nimble operating
model can serve customers more
quickly than the traditional supply
chain, allowing us to react rapidly
to customers' changes in demand
Execute on operational initiatives to
drive margin expansion
Installation of our own proprietary
Warehouse Management System
(WMS)

operational initiatives, building on
recent reductions of excess
production and labor costs from
our manufacturing operations as

revenue from existing customers
Offer additional product lines
allowing us to become a true "one-
stop" supplier

customer service and competitive
prices, we are positioned to be a
frequent recipient of requests for
proposals from existing customers
as they look for new sources of
supply
Pursue strategic acquisitions
Pursue opportunistic acquisitions
in order to expand the breadth of
its distribution network, increase
operating efficiency and add
additional products and
capabilities

opportunities on the East Coast

would enhance our national
footprint
