US Foods Holding Corp. is planning to open five new CHEF’STORE locations, including four in the Southeast and one in Oregon, this year.
CHEF’STORE offers a one-stop-shop for restaurant operators, food industry professionals, community groups and at-home chefs to stock up or replenish ingredients and supplies by the case and in individual quantities.
A quick look:
- The store at 16305 NW. Cornell Road in Beaverton will be the company’s 22nd in Oregon.
- The two locations in Virginia – at 1 Towne Centre Way in Hampton Town Centre and 4001 Virginia Beach Blvd. in Collins Square Shopping Center – will be the state’s third and fourth.
- The store at 521 U.S. Highway 70 SW. in Hickory, North Carolina, will be the fifth for the Tarheel State.
- The site at 6337 Roswell Road NE in Sandy Springs will be Georgia’s first.
With these, US Foods will have a network of more than 95 CHEF’STORE locations across 14 states by the end of the year.
The new warehouse format stores will offer an assortment of products ranging from fresh produce, meat, dairy and beverages to restaurant equipment, catering essentials, janitorial supplies and other restaurant items.
“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.”
