Royal Food Service is known as the
Southeast's premier distributor of fresh produce and dairy products. Royal Food
Service is an Atlanta-based foodservice distributor covering the areas of
Montgomery, Ala., to Aiken, SC., and from Chattanooga, Tenn., to Tifton, Ga. The
company was founded in 1994 and employs approximately 180 fulltime employees. Royal
Food Service’s cold storage and warehouse facilities span more than 48,000 square
feet with 50 refrigeration-equipped distribution trucks.
Its direct market includes casual dining
establishments, schools, institutional feeders, hotels, healthcare facilities,
country clubs and wholesale. Royal Food Service makes significant efforts to be
socially responsible through energy conservation practices such as low-wattage
CFL lighting, cardboard recycling, energy-efficient technologies and other
practices.
Royal Food joined Georgia Grown at the gold
membership level to improve its visibility by connecting to the many resources the
program offers. Royal Food hopes to gain publicity, information and exposure
through its membership. The company promotes several Georgia-grown produce
items and felt joining the Georgia Grown program was a perfect opportunity to
become more involved in Georgia’s agriculture industry.
“We believe that our Georgia Grown
membership fosters a positive relationship that supports our marketing effort,”
said Reed Crouch of Royal Food. “Royal Food supports Georgia Grown for all of
the right reasons; to support our local economy and Georgia farmers, increases
freshness and life of products and to meet the demand of a growing number of
customers who require locally grown products.”
