We deliver excellence, expertise, & quality products our customers need for successful food operations & experiences.

About us

We’ve grown to become the largest family-operated broadline food service distributor in North America by upholding the same business approach since 1897—being passionately committed to the people we serve. We believe in the power of good food—to bring people together and make moments special. Every product, every order, and every decision we make is inspired by the people on the other side of the plate. We distribute to foodservice operators throughout the Midwest, Northeast, Southeast and Southwest regions of the U.S. and coast to coast in Canada. Our company also operates more than 170 Gordon Food Service Stores, which are open to the public and provide the benefits of restaurant-quality products and friendly, knowledgeable service. Gordon Food Service Stores do not charge a membership fee. Gordon Food Service Stores are the primary supplier for many small foodservice operators, including: restaurants, churches, daycare providers, caterers, event planners, and other small businesses. We offer a broad range of employment opportunities throughout our corporate offices, distribution centers, and retail stores. We have a strong commitment to our employees and foster an environment that promotes internal growth, training, and career development opportunities. Gordon Food Service is an Equal Opportunity Employer and does not discriminate against any person on the basis of age, sex, race, religion, national origin, disability, or veteran status.

    The Aunt Millie's Bakeries Bread story is rooted in family, devotion, and loyalty. Founded by John Franke in 1901 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, as Wayne Biscuit Company, it became Perfection Bakery and then Aunt Millie’s. Today, as a family-owned business, they produce half a million pounds of bread daily from five bakeries, serving hundreds of stores with a fleet of 600 trucks. We are proud to partner with Aunt Millie’s as a veteran-owned company, providing fresh, high-quality bread to our customers.
