Somerset Food Service to Supply Fazoli

Headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky, Fazoli’s currently has 260 units in 30 states from Florida to California and Wisconsin to Texas. Somerset will deliver to 63 of those stores within a five-state area.

"Fazoli’s is looking forward to partnering with another long established Kentucky company. We believe this is a great opportunity for all parties while helping support the economy of the Bluegrass state," stated Fazoli’s ceo Carl Howard.

The value of the contract was not disclosed, but Somerset said its sales are expected to reach $115 million in 2009 from $90 million in 2008. The company has more than 135 employees in the Lake Cumberland area of Kentucky.
