Company Profile

  • Business description

    Chefs’ Warehouse is a foodservice distributor that focuses on specialty and center-of-the-plate fare. In 2025, the firm generated $4 billion in sales, distributing products largely to independent and fine-dining restaurants, as well as hotels, country clubs, and casinos. Chefs’ Warehouse’s 55,000 customers shop across 90,000 products sourced from 4,000 suppliers and distributed from its 44 distribution centers. The firm operates primarily in the US and Canada, though its 2022 acquisition of Chef Middle East established a foothold in the UAE, Qatar, and Oman. Chefs’ Warehouse has largely built its network through an aggressive acquisition strategy targeting specialty distributors to expand its geographic and product reach.
