Whitsons Culinary Group®, a recognized industry leader in
contract food service management and prepare meals, has acquired
Arbor Management, based in Itasca, Illinois. The acquisition
enables Whitsons to expand our reach and mission of Enhancing Life
One Meal at a Time™ further into the Midwestern United States.
Whitsons and Arbor share in the belief that wellness and good
food go hand in hand, especially in education, and were both
founded on the principles of dedication and personalized service.
Arbor is a leading food service management company that provides
comprehensive value in school food services for public K-12 school
districts and higher education markets. Since 1986, they have built
a reputation and success based on quality of food, exceptional
service, and a professional team.
Whitsons' journey began in 1979 when Elmer and Gina Whitcomb
bought two restaurants on Long Island, NY. They envisioned a family
business that celebrated the values of family, food, and service.
What started as their dream has transformed into our organization
today, uniting communities through shared meals and personal
connections. Over the years, Whitsons has grown from those small
family restaurants to become a leading food service management
company and one of the largest K-12 food service operators in the
nation.
“At Arbor, we distinguish ourselves with innovative solutions
for today’s market, bringing the value and service for which Arbor
is known, said Jack Bortko, President Arbor Management. “We
look forward to continued growth as part of Whitsons Culinary
Group, providing personalized services to our clients.”
“We are pleased to welcome Arbor to Whitsons Family of Companies
and expand our services into new communities throughout the
Midwest,” said Paul Whitcomb, President & CEO Whitsons Culinary
Group. “The unique synergies among our two organizations provide a
natural fit for us to further deliver on our mission of Enhancing
Life One Meal at a Time™ together.”
