ROSEMONT, Ill. – US Foods Holding Corp. (NYSE: USFD) – one of America’s leading foodservice distributors – announced that it has agreed to acquire Saladino’s Foodservice, a broadline distributor in California, to further expand its reach into key areas of central California.
Tuck-in acquisitions, such as Renzi Foodservice and the most recent agreement to acquire Saladino’s Foodservice, are a key part of the company’s ongoing commitment to drive shareholder value and support the company’s growth strategy. The Saladino’s acquisition will be the second acquisition for the company this year under the leadership of CEO Dave Flitman.
