Second consecutive year on the list of the region’s fastest-growing, privately owned companies

ROCHESTER, NY (August 25, 2026) – Palmer Food Services is pleased to announce that it has earned a spot on the 2026 Greater Rochester Chamber Top 100 list of fastest-growing, privately owned companies in the Greater Rochester region. This is Palmer’s second consecutive year on the list. Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce will reveal the 40th annual ranked list at its Top 100 awards celebration on Thursday, November 5.

“Two years in a row isn’t luck. It’s what happens when good people do the basics right, every day. Independent distribution means the people making decisions here answer to our customers and our community, not to a corporate office across the country. Our drivers, warehouse crew, meat cutters and sales team earn this. Our admin and leadership helps keep focus on the standards, and the score takes care of itself.”

Brian Handley, President, Palmer Food Services
