The George family mixed food wholesaling and retail well before it became a trend among consolidators. Founded by Alex and Lee George, Alex Lee has been distributing food to retailers through Merchants Distributors, Inc. (MDI) since 1931. MDI serves about 600 retailers in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, including IGA stores and Galaxy Food Centers. The company became a food service supplier in the 1960s through Institution Food House, and in 1984 it bought the Lowe's Food chain, which has almost 90 stores in North Carolina and Virginia. In 1998 Alex Lee started Consolidation Services to provide logistic services to vendors, distributors, and manufacturers.The George family controls Alex Lee.
