Restaurant Depot being acquired by Sysco

[nebugeater]

Hope this doesn't bring many changes to Restaurant Depot. I have the opportunity to go to Restaurant Depot and do some buying there. Nowhere near the level of someone who owns or operates a local restaurant. They sure are nice to have access to.

Sysco is getting into the cash-and-carry business.

The giant broadline distributor, the country’s largest provider of food and other goods to restaurants and other foodservice providers, on Monday said that it has a deal to acquire Jetro Restaurant Depot for $29.1 billion in cash and stock.

Restaurant Depot is a leading source of products for mostly independent restaurants and other businesses. It operates 166 large-format warehouse stores in 35 states that generate $16 billion in annual revenue, including $2.1 billion in EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. ..........

I've never been, but always thought it would be cool to checkout. Definitely would have been handy when I had my businesses.
