“We are thrilled to present this year’s award to PFG Caro,” said Chris Ward, Church’s senior vice president, Global Supply Chain & Purchasing. “PFG exemplifies values that are closely aligned with Church’s and helps us fulfill our purpose of making great chicken experiences that guest love.” Executives from Church’s were on-site at PFG’s Caro distribution center to present the award to the management team.

“We are truly honored and appreciative to receive the Distribution Center of the Year Award from Church’s,” said Ralph Boudreau, president, PFG Caro. “PFG has serviced the food service industry for many years and gained a reputation for exemplary service. We have been partnering with Church’s for more than 25 years and are very happy to be recognized as a distributor of the year.
