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 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 abundant exit options abound

Our Divisions
As we contemplated the future and considered the best formula to achieve and continue the growth trajectory we had experienced over the past decade plus – it became more and more evident that as a long established independent in a seasoned region, that growth would require additional capital and commitment. The prospect of support, collaboration and collective perspectives became more and more vital in the equation as we evaluated options for continued growth, territory expansion and improved efficiencies. LFG provided a window into the opportunities and ultimately the answer to those opportunities. The ability to maintain direction while having the necessary support to build a sustainable future.

It is exciting to be connected to top industry personnel who are pushing me to become better than I ever was. While we are an independent, customer-oriented business, we have been provided the knowledge, resources and technology to become better able to support our customers while being more profitable. I have been thrilled with our decision to be part of Legacy Food Group.

Thomsen Foodservice, Inc.
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, taking great care of long-time customers, and maintain all of my employees.

My previous involvement with LFG divisions made this decision a no-brainer. They’ve been allies in this space with us for years and the team that LFG has put in place really speak the foodservice language. With their help I was able to get more expertise, more peer-to-peer know-how and ultimately more time with my family.
