GFS and Macgregors Meat & Seafood
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Gordon Food Service this week announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Macgregors Meat & Seafood, a Canadian supplier to foodservice, retail and private label customers coast to coast. GFS said the acquisition will diversify and expand its customer offerings through new food categories and new retailers. Upon the transaction's completion, Macgregors will operate as a specialty company of Gordon Food Service.
With roots dating back to 1834 in Toronto's historic St. Lawrence Market, Macgregors is one of Canada's longest standing independent family-owned purveyors. The company's operations include dedicated raw and cooked facilities, new office and innovation center space and a popular, adjacent store open to the public. Its brand partnerships include Certified Angus Beef, 44th Street, Niman Ranch and Jail Island Salmon.
"We are excited to welcome Macgregors employees and its brands to the Gordon Food Service family," said Gordon Food Service President and CEO Rich Wolowski. "Macgregors is among the most respected in the marketplace and like Gordon Food Service, Macgregors operates with a people-focused culture. We expect our cultural similarities will make for a smooth transition for both our customers and employees."
