PROFILE |
 |
Gordon Food Service (GFS) helps satisfy the appetites of Midwesterners and Canadians. A food distributor serving schools, restaurants, and other institutions, GFS boasts more than 12,000 items ranging from fresh produce to sanitation systems. The company also makes its own line of foods under names such as Triumph Packaging and Ready, Set, Serve. Not merely a food distributor, GFS also sells food in bulk through its more than 75 GFS Marketplace retail stores across four states (think Sam's Club without the membership fee). The late Isaac VanWestenbrugge (great-grandfather of president Dan Gordon) founded the company as a butter and egg distributor in 1897. GFS is still owned by the Gordon family.
