Description
Established in 1982 and originally named Erik’s Food Service, after its founder and initial sole employee, Centre State Food Service is the first choice supplier for hundreds of businesses across country South Australia.
The business has been built on the philosophy of hard work, commitment to our customers, only stocking quality brands and products and good old fashioned service. Centre State Food Service has continued to steadily grow, employing local country people and ranging over 2,500 products.
As an SGS HACCP accredited distributor, Centre State Foods runs a fleet of modern refrigerated trucks and as the company logo reflects, distribution encompasses a wide area across the state of South Australia including:-
Yorke Peninsula Copper Triangle Barossa Valley Clare Valley Mid North Flinders Ranges Port Pirie Port Augusta
The business moved to its current purpose built location in 1998 to encompass its wholesale distribution facilities and a Cash and Carry outlet open to the general public. Warehouse freezer and dry storage facilities were extended in 2003, 2008 and 2010 to keep pace with the firms growing popularity whilst also striving to remain up-to-date with modern best practices, including Barcode scanning for order picking accuracy introduced in 2013.
As of 2/7/18 Centre State Food Service became a Division of Galipo Foods, another long term South Australian Countrywide member. We are excited about the future opportunities this move represents and the long term benefits this will bring to our customers.
