You don’t have to look far to see how we have had a hand in preparing your favorite meals. In fact, we’re right in your neighborhood. KUNA Foodservice may call St. Louis home, but because of our extensive reach, you can find us in 15 states. Restaurants and businesses of all sizes depend on us, and it’s those connections with businesses near and far that we honor every day through dedicated service and quality food products.
Grown Local
When you partner with a local food service distributor, your business is treated to fresher ingredients and a relationship with a B2B partner that you can lean on and turn to.
This dedication to quality ingredients from local farms throughout the Midwest is why businesses choose to partner with KUNA.
Advanced Technology
Our state-of-the-art production and storage buildings were designed from the ground up to provide the most efficient and safe handling of food products. This includes multiple dry, refrigerated and frozen warehouse spaces.
Maintaining Quality
The environmentally-friendly warehouse features seven separate temperature zones. From sub-zero, to a perfectly maintained 28º storage zone perfect for KUNA Meats, to a fully refrigerated dock, you can trust that our products are handled safely and delivered as fresh as possible.
