Purpose
We keep the industry vibrant by investing in independent distributors. As companies join our family, the Operating Divisions retain their historical names and local recognition, preserving their community reputation while benefiting from shared resources. We leverage collective buying power for enhanced supplier support, provide customizable marketing strategies, and offer shared services for HR, IT, and associate welfare plans.
Our advanced technology platform and continuous support help distributors optimize operations and stay competitive. At Legacy Food Group, we empower our operating Divisions to thrive in their local communities, as they long have, while enjoying the advantages of collective strength.

Opportunistic But Disciplined Approach to Candidates
Interest in both:
- Broadline distributors with full product mix
- Product specialists (enhances ability to drive cross-selling)
Geographic Focus
- Bias for regions east of the Mississippi with stable/growing populations
- Proximity to large population centers preferred, but not required
Focused on Working with Winners
- In a very fragmented target market (thousands of distributors) we are focused on working with proven winners
- History of growth and resilience
- Tenured owners supported by strong teams with a growth mindset and operational discipline, while being open to change and knowledge sharing
- Strong, stable and profitable customer relationship
- Healthy margins with efficient use of working capital and capital expenditures
- Prefer to lease real estate rather than own
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.
