(“GS Foods”), a leading specialized food distributor owned by affiliates of Highview Capital, LLC (“Highview”) and A&M Capital Partners (“AMCP”), today announced the next step in its continuing expansion with recently-opened operations in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. The new distribution facility will provide healthy, fresh meals to school districts statewide while offering the reliability and quality expertise that GS Foods is known for.
