Cheney Brothers is a family owned and operated food distributor and is currently the fastest-growing broadline distributor in the country, with over 3,000 employees nationwide and $2 billion in sales. In 2015, Cheney invested over $100 million in a massive distribution center in Charlotte County when it completed a 345,000 square foot, state-of-the-art distribution facility. From this facility, route drivers can service customers from the Naples market to the Tampa Bay market and return home each night for dinner. As part of an extensive incentive package Cheney received from Charlotte County, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity and the Florida Department of Transportation, the company was required to hire 380 people within five years – a number the company easily exceeded in two years with its current 500 workers, and growing. In fact, Cheney has just added another 80,000 sf to its facility. Charlotte County is proud to be part of Cheney’s success story as they continue to grow with over 3,000 employees and over $2 billion in sales. Any distribution company interested in serving the state of Florida could follow Cheney’s lead as they serve the entire state from 3 hubs—Charlotte County, Ocala and Riviera Beach. |
