TRUST YOUR LEGACY TO LEGACY FOOD GROUP
Capitalized and managed by multi-generational food industry professionals, Legacy Food Group acquires and partners with mid-tier or larger distributors to create a new entity that shares best practices and resources to create value. Members will retain autonomy in operations and their existing local presence, and will obtain an equity position in Legacy Food Group.
By knitting together multiple distributors, we achieve macro-scale with micro-market nimbleness, preserving differences that work for independents while achieving synergies that greatly expand margins.
Our Vision
Partner with foodservice distributors to use scale, private equity capital, geographic density and knowledge sharing to grow a company worth more than the sum of its parts, while retaining the entrepreneurial spirit, local branding and customer service that have made each division successful.
- Scale a differentiated, effective, and thriving enterprise
- Align with players who, although self-made, embrace the power of collectivism
- Maintain entrepreneurial spirit and customer-obsessed localized service enabled by best-in-class platform infrastructure and resources
- Create enterprise value where more abundant exit options abound

Our Divisions
After 50 years of leading a family run business without a next generation in place, I needed an exit strategy. Becoming a part of Legacy Food Group was the answer to all of my questions: continue working, allow my siblings to retire, and maintain all of my employees.
