Key people at Gordon Food Service.
Gordon Food Service operates as a broadline food distribution company, supplying fresh, frozen, and dry goods, plus essential equipment and supplies. It leverages proprietary technology, including Gordon Ordering and the Gordon Now App, to streamline client operations, ensuring efficient delivery of diverse products to foodservice establishments. This comprehensive offering supports various types of food operations with their logistical and product needs.
The company's origins trace to 1897 when Isaac Van Westenbrugge founded a butter and egg delivery business in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with a $300 loan. This capitalized on demand for reliable food provision. Ben Gordon later joined, partnering with Isaac to form The Gordon-Van Cheese Company. Upon Isaac’s retirement, Ben and his brother, Frank Gordon, reorganized into Gordon Food Service, building on a foundation of family ownership.
Gordon Food Service primarily serves restaurants, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions. Its vision centers on being a dedicated foodservice partner, empowering client success through consistent delivery of quality products and expertise. The company continually adapts and innovates, supporting the industry's evolving needs into the future.
