Gordon Food Service
Gordon Food Service is a privately held, family-operated foodservice distributor headquartered in Wyoming, Michigan. The company supplies food, beverages, equipment, kitchen supplies, cleaning products, technology solutions, and operational support to restaurants, healthcare facilities, schools, universities, hospitality businesses, and other foodservice operators across the United States and Canada. It also operates a large network of Gordon Food Service Stores that are open to the public without a membership requirement.
The company traces its history to 1897, when Isaac Van Westenbrugge started a butter-and-egg delivery business in Grand Rapids, Michigan after borrowing $300 from his brother. The business later became Gordon-Van Cheese Company and eventually adopted the Gordon Food Service name. Through multiple generations of Gordon family leadership, the company expanded into broadline distribution, retail stores, specialty companies, and technology-supported foodservice solutions.
Today, Gordon Food Service describes itself as the largest family-operated broadline food distribution company in North America. Current 2026 company materials report 25 distribution centers in North America, more than 180 Gordon Food Service Stores, approximately 18,700 deliveries per day, and around 123,000 customers receiving truck deliveries. The company remains privately held and family managed.

Customers filing a complaint involving an order, delivery, invoice, damaged product, missing item, food quality, store experience, account issue, driver interaction, or another Gordon Food Service matter should first collect their customer ID, order or invoice number, business name, delivery address, product details, photographs where relevant, and records of any prior communication. Retail-store shoppers should also keep their receipt and store location.
Start by calling 800-968-4164 or use the official Gordon Food Service Contact Us form. Provide your customer ID, business name, order details, delivery date, product information, and a concise explanation of the problem. If the complaint involves missing or damaged products, keep packaging and photographs where possible. Ask the representative to document the issue and provide a reference or follow-up information.
If the issue is connected to a specific delivery operation, contact the distribution center serving your account. Gordon Food Service publishes direct phone numbers for major facilities across the United States. Retail customers should speak with management at the Gordon Food Service Store involved. Local operations can often address delivery timing, product availability, returns, transaction concerns, and store-level complaints more quickly than corporate headquarters.
If the first Customer Service or local contact does not resolve the complaint, ask for review by an account representative, sales representative, distribution manager, store manager, or another appropriate supervisor. Provide a clear timeline, previous case details, invoice numbers, delivery records, and any supporting evidence. Explain exactly what resolution is being requested and keep notes of names, dates, and promised follow-up.
For a serious unresolved complaint, written correspondence can be sent to Gordon Food Service, 1300 Gezon Parkway SW, Wyoming, MI 49509. Include your full contact information, customer ID if applicable, business name, order and invoice details, prior complaint history, relevant dates, and a chronological explanation of the issue. Attach copies rather than original documentation and clearly state the resolution requested. Gordon Food Service also publishes P.O. Box 1787, Grand Rapids, MI 49501-1787 as its mailing address.
If the issue remains unresolved, the appropriate external process depends on the complaint. Food-safety or product-contamination issues may involve local or state health agencies, the FDA, or USDA depending on the product. Commercial contract or billing disputes may require business-to-business legal or contractual remedies, while retail payment disputes may involve the customer’s card issuer. Workplace or transportation-safety issues can fall under different state or federal agencies. Keep invoices, photographs, packaging, correspondence, and Gordon Food Service responses before escalating externally.
