From our family to your kitchen...

Our Story

Four Generations. One Mission.

In 1930, Albert J. Marrone Sr. founded a small food distribution company in Pittsburg, Kansas. His mission was simple:

“Provide products and services of superior quality and value to our customers.”

​

That mission still drives us today.

​By 1972, Albert’s three sons—Albert Jr., Dale, and Ron—grew the business across the Four-State region. Today, Marrone’s Inc. remains a family-owned and operated company, proudly run by the fourth generation.

​

Built on Relationships. Driven by Service.

We believe foodservice works best when it’s personal. Whether we’re meeting in person, taking a call, or responding online, we focus on timely, tailored communication. This hands-on approach helps us build strong relationships—with customers and suppliers alike.

For over 90 years, we’ve maintained our core values while evolving our offerings to meet changing needs. Through dedication, integrity, and hard work, we’ve built a reputation as a trusted local partner in food distribution.

​Proudly Serving the Heartland

Today, Marrone’s Inc. is a full-line foodservice distributor for Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas. We serve a wide range of local operators—from schools and restaurants to healthcare and hospitality—helping them deliver quality meals with confidence.

We’re grateful for your interest in Marrone’s and look forward to partnering with you.
