About the Company

Lipari Foods

Food distributor of deli, bakery, dairy

Lipari Foods is a food distributor that specializes in “perimeter-of-the-store” products such as deli, bakery, and dairy. It started in 1963 when founder Jim Lipari sold Bazzo's BBQ sauce from the back of a Chevy wagon, building a direct-distribution approach in the Detroit area, and later expanded into private-label cheese and frozen dough. The company grew through a mix of organic expansion and acquisitions, including becoming the distributor for Frank’s Tea & Spice in 1967. Its goal is to provide retailers with a broad, differentiated product mix by growing organically and through strategic acquisitions, supported by ownership changes with private equity partners over the years.
