About Us

In 1879, Halsey brothers William
Leroy and Charles Henry founded
W.L. & C.H. Halsey Company, a
retail and wholesale grocery
delivery business.  They built their
dream with integrity, a firm
handshake and a clear commitment
to quality and service.

Over the years, the company grew
with the times - sophisticated
computer systems, modern
warehousing, fresh produce and
meat processing facilities...

But some things never change.  Our
business is still based on integrity,
a firm handshake and a clear
commitment to quality and service.

Today we are Halsey Foodservice.  
We look to the future; but we will
not forget our past.
