US Foods Holding Corp. – one of America’s leading foodservice distributors – announced its plan to open five new CHEF’STORE locations in 2024. The new stores will be in Beaverton, Ore.; Hampton, Va.; Hickory, N.C.; Sandy Springs, Ga.; and Virginia Beach, Va. The new locations are expected to open in the second half of 2024.
CHEF’STORE offers a one-stop-shop for restaurant operators, food industry professionals, community groups and at-home chefs to quickly stock up or replenish ingredients and supplies by the case and in individual quantities. The new warehouse format stores will offer a wide assortment of products from fresh produce, meat, dairy, and beverages to restaurant equipment, catering essentials, janitorial supplies and other restaurant essentials. CHEF’STORE is open to the public seven days a week and no membership is required.
“We are thrilled to enhance our store footprint into new areas of the country where we can serve existing and new customers with exceptional value and service, and a vast selection of competitively priced restaurant-quality products and supplies,” said Irfan Badibanga, president of CHEF’STORE. “Our continued growth plans support our commitment to serving independent restaurant owners, foodservice operators, and community members with the products they need, exactly when they need them.”
The Beaverton store will be located at 16305 NW. Cornell Road and will be the 22nd location in Oregon. The new Virginia locations in Hampton Town Centre at 1 Towne Centre Way and 4001 Virgina Beach Blvd. in Collins Square Shopping Center will be the third and fourth CHEF’STORE locations in Virgina. The Hickory store, located at 521 U.S. Highway 70 SW., will be the fifth CHEF’STORE in North Carolina. The Sandy Springs store, located at 6337 Roswell Road NE., will be the first CHEF'STORE in Georgia.
With the inclusion of the five new locations, US Foods will now have a network of more than 95 CHEF'STORE locations across 14 states by year-end.
