About B&G Distributing

Since 1974, B&G has helped foodservice customers throughout the South find, source and support the right equipment from leading manufacturers. B&G serves Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana (MAFSI Regions 12 and 14), with manufacturer representation varying by state.


Built on the Same Foundation

Like B&G, Don Stevens was built on ice and refrigeration and sells through dealers. Don Stevens has served the foodservice industry since 1961, with six branches across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri.


What This Means

B&G customers. You’ll keep working with the same B&G contacts, and the same product lines, brands and part numbers remain available. In the coming months, you’ll begin to see the benefits of having a larger company behind B&G, including broader inventory and expanded technical support. Questions? Talk to your B&G Sales Rep or call 901.372.3384.


Don Stevens customers and manufacturer partners. Nothing changes in how you work with Don Stevens. Existing manufacturer lines and represented territories for both companies remain unchanged.

 

Welcome to the Don Stevens family, B&G!
