Performance Food Group's earliest roots can be traced to 1875, as a food brokerage and distribution company was formed in Richmond, VA. Initially, it distributed canned fruits and vegetables to grocery stores and restaurants across the mid-Atlantic. Today, we're one of the largest foodservice distributors in the United States.
By the 1980's, the company shifted to a broader vision and became a network of distributors, sharing resources such as marketing, procurement, product development, sales and technology support through its largest division, Pocahontas Foods. With this type of backing and volume, it could compete against the largest broadline distributors.
Performance Food Group took its current name in 1987 when Pocahontas Foods merged with Caro Foods in Houma, LA and the Kenneth O. Lester Company in Lebanon, TN. In the next several years, many more food distributors joined the PFG family.
In response to increasing business, the Customized division was formed to serve major customers like Cracker Barrel and Outback Steakhouse. Since 1993, more than a dozen outstanding distribution companies have joined us from New Jersey, Maine, Arkansas, Illinois, Texas and Georgia.
Most recently in 2008, Performance Food Group was acquired by The Blackstone Group and Wellspring Capital Management and merged with Vistar, a leading specialty foodservice distributor and Roma Food, a specialty Italian and Italian-American foodservice distributor.
Today, we serve all 50 states and 41 foreign countries, delivering more than 68,000 foodservice items to more than 41,000 customers. We're still growing. And we're committed to making sure we do everything possible to serve our customers the best we can.
