What exactly is a Food Distributor?
A food distributor is a company that buys products from food and beverage brands and resells them to retailers, foodservice operators, or other buyers.
They handle the logistics of warehousing, transporting, and delivering your products — making them a key operational partner in getting on and staying on shelves.
Distributors often specialize by region, channel (like grocery or foodservice), or category.
How to Choose a Food Distributor
When evaluating a distributor, start by confirming they serve your target market — both in geography and channel.
Ask about their retailer relationships, delivery schedules, minimums, and fees. Some distributors offer added support like merchandising, data, or marketing, while others strictly move product.
It’s also essential to understand their onboarding process and payment terms. The best distributor for your brand is one who can reliably support your growth, not just your current volume.
Why do I need a Food Distributor?
A food distributor helps you get your product from warehouse to shelf — reliably and at scale. They handle the logistics of storing, transporting, and delivering your goods to retailers, restaurants, or foodservice buyers, so you don’t have to manage dozens of individual accounts or shipments yourself.
As you grow, working with a distributor can streamline your operations, open doors to new accounts, and ensure your product is available when and where buyers need it. For many CPG brands, a distributor is the difference between local hustle and regional or national scale.
