Ben E. Keith began as an innovator in food wholesaling. Early in the twentieth century commercial distribution of refrigerated foods was rare. In 1906 our founder saw a need to bring fresh produce items to frontier Texas, and before long was delivering lettuce, tomatoes and strawberries from far away fields. Ever since, Ben E. Keith Foods has been a leader in the food industry, always taking advantage of new ideas and technology.

Today, Ben E. Keith Foods is using that technology, and our extensive produce history, to continuously deliver the highest quality product available, adhering to strict food safety guidelines and procedures, and striving for the greatest customer satisfaction.

Today, under the leadership of Mike Roach, President, we are the ninth largest full-line foodservice distributor in the United States. Our modern trucks deliver produce and groceries from state-of-the-art warehouses to locations in Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Tennessee, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas.
