PFG Customized Div. awarded $110 million in annual volume

By Restaurant Business Staff on Aug. 20, 2001
Performance Food Group (PFG), Richmond, VA, has been awarded approximately $110 million worth of annual business by Ruby Tuesday, Inc., and SRG, Inc. The contract comprises some 250 restaurants operated under the names Ruby Tuesday, Mozzarella's American Cafe and Tia's Tex Mex. The restaurants are located principally in the Southeast and represent about 40 percent of the units the chains operate nationally.

"We are excited about forming a working relationship with these fast-growing, successful restaurant operators," comments Thomas Hoffman, PFG senior vice president and president of PFG's Customized Foodservice Div. "We plan to start serving about half of these units early in the fourth quarter of 2001 from our Gainesville, FL, customized distribution facility. In the first quarter of 2002, we will expand our coverage to serve the remaining restaurants from our Lebanon, TN, customized distribution center."
