Sysco shares slip after report of $29B Restaurant Depot acquisitionMarch 30, 2026 8:25 AM
IH Market News
Shares of Sysco Corp (NYSE:SYY) fell more than 2% in premarket trading on Monday after a Bloomberg report said the food distribution giant is close to acquiring family-owned Restaurant Depot in a transaction valued at about $29 billion, including debt.According to the report, Restaurant Depot shareholders would receive $21.6 billion in cash along with 91.5 million Sysco shares. Once completed, the share component would give them roughly 16% of Sysco’s outstanding common stock.The total deal value of approximately $29.1 billion, including assumed debt, represents a valuation of more than 14 times Restaurant Depot’s operating income, the report said, citing people familiar with the negotiations.To finance the transaction, Sysco plans to raise around $21 billion through new and hybrid debt, supplemented by about $1 billion in existing cash and equity resources. The company also intends to suspend its share repurchase program in order to focus on reducing leverage after the acquisition closes.Strategically, the transaction would allow Houston-based Sysco to expand into the cash-and-carry distribution segment, where small restaurant operators and independent food businesses purchase products directly from warehouse locations without needing to place advance orders or arrange deliveries.Restaurant Depot currently runs 166 warehouse-style outlets across 35 U.S. states and generated roughly $16 billion in revenue in 2025.Sysco, which has a market capitalization of around $40 billion, supplies food products to restaurants, hospitals, hotels and entertainment venues through more than 330 distribution centers across 10 countries. The company recorded over $81 billion in sales last year. Unlike Restaurant Depot’s membership-based walk-in model, Sysco’s core business typically involves larger orders delivered directly to customers.Restaurant Depot’s roots date back to a Brooklyn warehouse opened in 1976 under the name Jetro Cash & Carry, before the business adopted the Restaurant Depot brand in the 1990s.Following completion of the acquisition, Restaurant Depot is expected to continue operating as a separate business division within Sysco. Its current management team would remain in place and report to Sysco Chief Executive Kevin Hourican. The report also said no job cuts are planned at either company.Sysco has spent recent years rebuilding its operations after the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted global food-service supply chains, leaving the company in a stronger position to pursue large acquisitions.Sysco Corporation stock price

ST. JOSEPH – A nearly 100 acre distribution center could be coming to St. Joseph.
St. Joseph Mayor Rick Schultz says a developer is looking into the possiblity of building the center in town. City documents say the proposed location for the center could be near 19th Avenue Northeast and County Road 133.
The center is proposed on about 100 acres of primarily agricultural land in town. The project proposes a total building area of 745,000 square feet.
City documents say KDN Holdings, a food service supplier based in Massachusetts, is the company exploring the land. Schultz couldn’t comment or confirm what kind of business would be operating the potential center, but says it could bring hundreds of jobs to the area.
“It will employ about 200 plus people and it’s gone through the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development,” Schultz says.
City documents say construction on the possible distribution center could start this fall.
Schultz says the city would chip in a little money to help with permitting and infrastructure.
The city council authorized administration to distribute an environmental assessment worksheet for the project on Monday night. The project is still only in its initial phases and needs further city discussion and approval.
