Temple, TX — McLane Grocery Distribution, a business unit of McLane Company, Inc., launched the McLane Kitchen for its customers in the Convenience, Grocery, Drug and Mass Market channels. McLane Kitchen is a comprehensive, customizable solution to help generate optimum sales and profits in the rapidly growing, highly profitable foodservice business.

It provides useful category insights on consumption trends and top-selling national brands and programs. And, McLane Kitchen solutions are customized to fit each retailer’s unique foodservice at retail objectives.
“With over 175 foodservice supplier relationships which include industry-leading food, beverage and equipment suppliers, McLane is in a position to offer a variety of high-quality, adaptable and cost effective programs to our customers—regardless of their size” said Grant Demers, Director Merchandising, McLane Grocery Distribution.
Holly Veale, Merchandising Manager, stated: “Our communication efforts include a restaurant-style menu that displays offerings and programs as meal opportunities—breakfast, lunch, appetizers, snacks, desserts and around-the-clock favorites.
