March 30, 2026 from Reuters:
"Sysco said on Monday it would buy catering supplier Jetro Restaurant Depot in a $29 billion deal expanding the top U.S. food distributor's reach among price-conscious independent restaurants.
"Family-owned Jetro Restaurant Depot operates a wholesale cash-and-carry model, where customers pay upfront for goods such as food, beverages and takeaway containers, complementing Sysco's delivery network serving restaurants, hospitals and hotels.
"The two companies have been engaged in conversations for years, Hourican said, and the question of succession was part of the reason why the Kirsh family behind Restaurant Depot decided to sell now. The founder, Nathan, is in his 90s and his children don't run the business. They decided that Sysco is the best home for their family's business to help take it to the next generation and beyond, Hourican said."
