Legacy Food Group announced that CEO Steve Push has also been appointed executive chairman of the board, a newly created position that continues his leadership role within the company. This move allows Push greater strategic focus on the firm’s mission to acquire regional independent distributors.

Before LFG, Push served as CEO and chairman of Legacy Foodservice Alliance, which he founded in 2009 to facilitate commerce between independent foodservice distributors and suppliers. Push has a long history in the foodservice industry, having held senior management roles at Pocahontas Foods USA and Progressive Group Alliance from 1983 to 2009, where he focused on sales, marketing, and distributor development.

LFG has experienced tremendous growth since its inception last September, bringing together five independent foodservice distributors spanning different markets who now operate as local Operating Divisions of LFG: Keck’s Food Service, M&V Provisions, Thomsen Foodservice, Best Mexican Foods (“Best Mexican”), and Halsey Foodservice.
