"Our Company and Family Name have always stood for Quality and Integrity"
- Kip Palmer
Fifth Generation Owner and President
Since 1850 Palmer Foods has been serving customers and clients in Rochester and Western New York, distributing fresh seafood, meat, poultry and groceries to the finest dining establishments in the area. We are immensely proud to be the oldest family owned and operated business in Rochester. But being 150 years old doesn't entitle us to your business. No matter if you're just looking for a good fish fry to take home to your family, or a full custom purchasing program for your foodservice operation... we expect to have to constantly earn the privilege of doing business with you.
Dear Friend:
Welcome to the Palmer Food Services website.
Palmer Food Services is the oldest family owned and operated business in Rochester, New York.
As the fifth generation owner and president I want you to know that we do not and will not rest on our laurels. Just because we have been here since 1850 does not mean we deserve to continue in business. As we tell our Sales Department - "You are only as good as your last sale..."
PFS has assembled the finest team of foodservice professionals in our industry, presently 150 strong. We have invested in property, plant, equipment, and technology to remain operationally competitive, and improve our customer service. But most importantly, we truly care about our business relationships, both customer and vendor.
Obviously, you can buy products from a variety of sources. But you can't buy our people or our expertise. We strive for a mutually beneficial personal relationship with every customer. Your total satisfaction and ultimate profitability are driving forces in our everyday business life.
If we can't make a discernable difference in your business, if we can't bring real value to the relationship, then we have failed and we do not deserve your patronage.
PFS is a company of honesty and integrity. We are very thankful for God's many blessings in our lives. We have many longstanding customer "partnerships" and endeavor to establish new and enduring ones.
Thank you for visiting us. If you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact me personally.
Sincerely,
Dwight "Kip" Palmer
President, Palmer Food Services
