Specialty food distributor Baldor Specialty Foods is expanding into North Carolina with an initial focus on the Triangle, Triad and Charlotte metro areas. Restaurants, hotels, retailers, universities and other foodservice operators throughout these regions will gain access to Baldor's selection of more than 6,000 products, including proteins.
Baldor is a purveyor for chefs, restaurants and hospitality groups, while also serving retailers, hospitals, schools, event venues and corporations. With company roots in retail tracing back to 1918 and officially founded as a produce company for professional kitchens in 1991, Baldor has grown into a one-stop shop for chefs and retailers, offering produce, specialty foods, dairy, meat through Golden Meat Co. and seafood through Pierless Fish. Still family-owned and operated, Baldor maintains a strong focus on local products.
North Carolina Baldor customers will have access to next-day delivery six days a week until 8 p.m., dedicated local sales support, flexible ordering with no contracts or purchasing commitments, a $200 minimum per order and a service model rooted in the company's commitment to "radical hospitality." The market will be served by a dedicated North Carolina-based sales team, providing local expertise and personalized support while connecting operators to Baldor's broader network of farms and producers.
"North Carolina has an amazing established restaurant scene and defining local flavor, which we plan to embrace and pair with our catalog and service," said T.J. Murphy, owner and CEO of Baldor Specialty Foods. "Quality ingredients, dependable service, and personal relationships have been at the heart of Baldor since day one, and we're looking forward to building these relationships throughout the state, with the restaurant industry, and also with the agricultural community."
North Carolina will now be Baldor's southernmost market, with its delivery regions reaching as far north as Freeport, Maine and as far west as Harrisburg, Pa.
