The stores are expected to be opened in the second half of the year in Beaverton, Oregon; Virginia Beach and Hampton, Virginia; Hickory, North Carolina; and Sandy Springs, Georgia,
“We are thrilled to enhance our store footprint into new areas of the country where we can serve existing and new customers with exceptional value and service, and a vast selection of competitively priced restaurant-quality products and supplies,” said Irfan Badibanga, President of CHEF’STORE. “Our continued growth plans support our commitment to serving independent restaurant owners, foodservice operators, and community members with the products they need, exactly when they need them.”
CHEF’STORE offers a one-stop shop for restaurant operators, food industry professionals, community groups, and at-home chefs to quickly stock up or replenish ingredients and supplies by the case and in individual quantities.
According to a release, new warehouse-format stores will offer a wide assortment of products from fresh produce, meat, dairy, and beverages to restaurant equipment, catering essentials, janitorial supplies, and other restaurant essentials.
With the opening of the five newest locations, US Foods will have a network of over 95 CHEF'STORE locations across 14 states by the end of 2024.
