Beef 'O' Brady's Signs Five-Year Foodservice Distribution Agreement With Sysco

Tampa based restaurant franchisor Beef 'O' Brady's announced today a five-year agreement with Sysco Corporation to become the primary food distributor for 185 U.S. Beef 'O' Brady's locations.

The agreement does not include every Beef 'O' Brady's location, but the partnership is expected to produce better efficiency and consistency among the stores covered in the agreement.

The partnership also streamlines the franchise process, making expansion much easier for the franchisor.  With as many as 30 new locations planned for 2012, including international markets, Sysco's distribution platform, as the global leader in marketing and distribution of food products, will ensure rapid expansion and consistent quality and consistency for new franchisees.

"We are pleased to partner with Beef 'O' Brady's as its primary food distributor," said Dick Abbey, vice president of Contract Sales at Sysco. "Beef's is a well-established restaurant chain, and our key strategic objectives are in line with one another. Sysco is committed to help Beef's grow its business over the next five years and beyond."

The "kid appeal" of this unique concept is reinforced by a very moderately priced kids menu and video games. Ironically, despite what the name implies, Beef 'O' Brady's is actually best known for its Buffalo-style chicken wings.
