“I’m not a genius. I’m just a tremendous bundle of experience.- Buckminster Fuller”
our history
Focus Foodservice began as a small local food brokerage company with few lines in 1990, formerly known as Barnett & Associates. From the beginning the company embraced the philosophy of our nickname “Dream Team”. It has been our company policy to go beyond the expected and over 25 years later, we’ve grown into a full-service brokerage company with a reach not only locally but nationally extending our design services & expertise on packaging trends.
Allen Sanders, long-time Vice President of Sales of B&A, took ownership of Focus in 2011 with a vision for a company that cultivates exceptional attention to detail through service & delivering indelible memories. With goals to create a steadfast & supportive work environment that always puts the client first, Focus recently expanded their office space and grew the team. Focus Foodservice plans to continue to evolve and grow their services all with the company’s original philosophy in mind as they strive to always exceed their client’s expectations.
