Lee Food SERVICE

Lee Food SERVICE Poised for Success

STRATEGICALLY LOCATED

The company’s location affords it easy access to key transportation arteries. Lee Food Service suppliers and customers benefit from this accessibility with economical inbound freight, low outbound delivery costs, and rapid response delivery. This geographic location also provides a moderate tax base and supplies an ample and motivated workforce to support its labor-intensive distribution facility.

THE SERVICE LEADER

Rather than trying to drive the foodservice market with “lowest prices” and private label products like many of its competitors, Lee Food Service provides value to its customers through nationally-branded products, exceptional response time, reliable delivery and personal service that saves time and hassles. The company is perfectly sized and structured to be agile and responsive to market needs, strategically located to provide rapid responsive service, and properly positioned in its product and service offerings to be the industry’s service leader for its customers.

CULTURE OF INTEGRITY, FAIRNESS, COLLABORATION, ACCOUNTABILITY

Lee Food Service has adopted a culture that demonstrates our commitment to the core values of integrity, fairness and collaboration; therefore, the company invests considerable energy into developing employees through training and enrichment activities with the expectation that every employee takes “personal accountability” for achieving exceptional results for all stakeholders. Employees rally to the slogan “It’s Personal!”, demonstrating the company’s commitment to this business philosophy.

SEASONED EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT TEAM

Having one of the most seasoned executive management teams in the foodservice industry, Lee Food Service is also positioned to provide leadership, long-term growth, and stability for its employees, customers, suppliers and investors. Equity owners, President & CEO Robert S. Donaldson, SVP of Sales, Purchasing & Marketing Mark Koschny and CFO Hugh Reilly have post-graduate degrees, and each possesses in excess of 20 years experience in the foodservice distribution industry with private and publicly-held companies, ranging in size from $100 million to $20 billion in annual sales. In addition, each has a deep sense of civic responsibility that energizes his leadership and provides a myriad of opportunities for Lee Food Service and its constituents.

STABILITY & A CLEAR PATH

In a climate of uncertainty for the future of a number of large foodservice distributors such as Sysco and U.S. Foodservice, the path for Lee Food Service is clear. The company offers customers nationally branded products and suppliers an achievable long-term growth plan that is not in competition with private-label products. The company has an energized team of employees who are determined to exceed expectations and committed to earning customer trust.

SOLID FINANCIAL FOUNDATION

In addition to the personal investment of its executive management team, Lee Food Service has the financial support and mentorship both of its primary lender, Omega Bank, and its major shareholders and board members, who also serve as community business leaders—Donald Devorris, Chairman of the Board of The Blair Companies, Inc., a diversified organization encompassing dozens of businesses with more than 1600 employees, and Stephen Sheetz, Chairman of the Board of Sheetz, Inc., a $3.5 billion convenience store chain.

POISED FOR SUCCESS

The company has the right location, products, people, positioning, customers, leadership and financing. Lee Food Service is poised for success.
