WELCOME TO QUAKER VALLEY FOODS A PROUD HISTORY Fifty years of business in any market today is an amazing achievement. A lot of businesses are striving to just hold onto what they’ve been able to build. Quaker Valley Foods has enjoyed steady growth through hard work, sound operational processes and the support of an extraordinary workforce. Quaker Valley Foods is the premier distributor of over 3,000 fresh and frozen perishable and non-perishable items throughout the midAtlantic. We take tremendous pride in our ability to provide consistency in quality and competitive pricing to our valued customers. Quaker Valley Foods serves wholesale distributors, large supermarket groups, ethnic markets, jobbers, restaurants, as well as independent retail and wholesale food stores. Quaker Valley Foods goes beyond great products at competitive pricing. With a special focus on ethnic offerings, our broad customer base purchases Hispanic, African, Chinese and Halal foods, as well as many other products. These ethnic specialties are geared toward more than half of our customer base. As a result, we have a highly experienced, multi-lingual sales team that speaks your language and is here to help you discover all that Quaker Valley Foods has to offer. Andy Roman, Executive Vice President; Pat Veasey, President & Wayne Hudis, CEO 2701 Red Lion Road Philadelphia, PA 19154 215-992-0900 • quakervalleyfoods.com Quaker Valley Foods was founded in 1975 as Gary’s Wholesale Meats by brothers-in-law Norman Fleekop and Gary Hudis. Norman had been an original owner of Kansas Beef Industries (KBI), and Gary had worked there as the plant manager. In 1980, Norman’s son Ken joined the company, and in 1984, Gary’s son Wayne did the same. Years of sustained annual growth and business relocation followed. By 1995, Quaker Valley Foods acquired the assets of KBI. That same year, Pat Veasey joined our team. Following Norman’s retirement in 2000 and the sudden death of Gary in 2002, it was time for the two sons to take the reins and lead the company forward. In 2005, Quaker Valley Foods relocated to the former RFDI facility on Red Lion Road in Northeast Philadelphia. It is here that we reside today on 15 acres in a 250,000-square-foot facility that warehouses dry, refrigerated and frozen food products. After Ken retired in 2013, Pat Veasey and Wayne Hudis became partners and owners of the company the following year. In 2016, Quaker Valley Foods acquired Moyer-Mitchell Company, a large protein distributor that sold primarily chicken products. With this acquisition, Quaker Valley Foods increased our sales and purchasing staff to over 35 industry professionals. We also increased our fleet of trucks to over 40 vehicles, servicing the mid-Atlantic states and beyond! In late 2024, Quaker Valley Foods sold a majority interest to Hidden Harbor Capital Partners, a private equity firm located in South Florida. We anticipate that the broad range of expertise and experience that Hidden Harbor brings with it will enable the company to continue its journey of growth and success as we reach our 50th year anniversary in 2025 and in the years to come!
