A Proud Heritage of Excellence
Explore our history of delivering exceptional meats and service,
from our beginings in 1893 to today's coast-to-coast capabilities.
Stock Yards was founded by the Pollack family, in the original “stockyards” of Chicago.
Stock Yards was acquired by US Foods to become one of the largest suppliers in the country of Choice and Prime cuts of beef.

We rebranded as Stock Yards Collective, as part of our commitment to innovation, growth, the evolving needs of our customers and the legacy of the brand.
