Smart Foodservice Warehouse Store Coming to Kalispell, Montana on October 12, 2019

PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Smart Foodservice Warehouse Stores, a warehouse-format store that has catered to the foodservice industry for more than 60 years, will open a new store in Kalispell, Mont. on Saturday, October 12 at 6:00 am. Located at 1031 E US HWY 2, the Kalispell store will be Smart Foodservice's second store in Montana and its 68th location in the Western United States.

Offering a wide range of products designed to meet the needs of local foodservice businesses, the new Smart Foodservice Warehouse Store will provide a convenient local shopping option for product and supply necessities.

The 23,500 square-foot store, like all Smart Foodservice Warehouse Store locations, will carry more than 8,000 items including fresh meat and produce, cheese, dairy and deli products, frozen seafood, appetizers, french fries, grocery products, baking ingredients, beverages, bread and tortillas, janitorial supplies, catering supplies, tableware and barware.

We are excited to serve new and existing customers in the Kalispell area."

To celebrate the opening, there will be an invitation-only preview day for business operators and managers on Friday, October 11, where vendors will be on hand to answer product questions.
