Our Story

​

Five Generations. One Mission.

In 1930, Albert J. Marrone Sr. started a small food distribution company in Pittsburg, Kansas, with a simple promise: “Superior quality and value for every customer.” That promise still guides us today.

By 1972, his sons—Albert Jr., Dale, and Ron—expanded across the Four-State Region. Now in our fith generation, Marrone’s Inc. remains 100% family-owned and operated.

Built on Relationships. Driven by Service.

Foodservice is-personal. You deal directly with people who know your business, answer your call, and care about your success. That’s the Marrone’s difference—no corporate runaround, just real relationships and dependable service. Since 1930, we’ve stayed true to integrity and hard work while growing into a trusted full-line foodservice distributor.

Proudly Serving the Four-State Region

From schools and hospitals to restaurants and hotels across Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, we help our local operators serve great meals with confidence. We’re not the biggest—just the ones who’ve been your neighbors the longest.
