Stock Yards® was founded by the Pollack family, in the original “stockyards” of Chicago.
In the mid-1900s, Stock Yards expanded from Chicago to national markets, modernizing to meet USDA standards and opening distribution centers in Las Vegas and Atlantic City.
Stock Yards® was acquired by US Foods® to become one of the largest suppliers in the country.
We rebranded as Stock Yards® Collective as part of our commitment to meet the evolving needs of our customers.
