As more and more people become vaccinated, consumer demand increases, and restrictions on the industry begin to fade, the need for supply within the industry has skyrocketed. Customers everywhere have begun to flock back to their favorite businesses, and those same businesses need make sure they have everything they need to meet this increased demand.

Although this may seem like a tall order, due to lingering scarcity and consequently increased prices, businesses like father and son operated PCO Foods exist solely to ease this burden. PCO Foods’ incredibly wide array of products, combined with their focus on affordability, makes them the logical choice for distributors, restaurant chains and retailers looking to ramp their businesses up.

“At PCO Foods, we’ve always been about solutions,” said company President, Alan Brown Jr. “Every day we work to broaden our scope. At the start of the pandemic, food service took a hit, so our focus shifted to provide solutions for retailers to keep up with the high demand for proteins, paper goods and other retail products. Throughout the pandemic, we’ve worked particularly hard on expanding our private labeled brands and creating new programs for food service and retail. The more we can expand our scope, the more people we can help and the more solutions we can provide.” True to Brown Jr’s word, PCO Foods offers everything a restaurant or supplier could possibly need, from meat and seafood to premium French fries, desserts, grab-and-go items, and dry goods. They provide an exceptional variety of products and programs to fit the needs of customers in all facets of the food business.

With the advent of the pandemic and the changes in attitude towards health and safety that have come with it, personal protective equipment has seen an exponential increase in demand. Thankfully, in the spirit of “broadening their scope,” PCO Foods has added a wide variety of FDA-approved PPE products to their selection, including everything from hand sanitizers to disposable gloves, masks, face shields, sanitizing wipes, and more. “Adding PPE to our offerings was a no brainer,” said company founder Alan Brown Sr. “As we mentioned earlier, we’re in the business of providing solutions. All our customers need to do is tell us what they need, and we get it. In this case, they needed to meet new health and safety standards and to maintain a safe environment within their business, so we provide them with the tools they need to do it.”

Many businesses within the industry are operating on reduced revenue streams or are still reeling from the effects of doing so earlier on in the pandemic. What separates PCO Foods from other suppliers is their specific focus on supplying customers with what they need at affordable prices and helping them build their businesses.

“From the very start, PCO Foods has been about supplying the highest quality and most needed products while helping customers save money on their food purchases,” said Brown Jr. “This is more important than ever in in this pandemic climate, where helping people save money quite literally equates to keeping businesses open. We realize people are doing the best they can to keep their own customers satisfied with their limited resources, so it’s the least we can do to help ease the burden.”

Although PCO Foods has worked hard already for over 25 years to simultaneously provide the best products at affordable prices, Alan Brown Jr, Sr, and the rest of the team don’t plan on stopping there. “It’s great that we’re starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel,” mentioned Brown Sr, “However that only means we’re on the right track. We as an industry have a long way to go, and PCO Foods will be there for it every step of the way.”

The PCO Foods legacy is about humble beginnings almost three decades ago as a shrimp and seafood supplier. Today, the Brown Family has built one of the nation’s leading re-distribution companies with flexibility that is simply unmatched in the foodservice and retail industries.
