Plantation began consolidating warehouses in Miami and transitioning from retail to institutional foodservice. In 1977, as institutional foodservice momentum grew, Plantation SYSCO was opened in Orlando. The Orlando operation grew rapidly and, in 1990, became known as SYSCO Food Services of Central Florida, Inc.

By 1995, both the Miami and Orlando operations had outgrown their facilities and were among the first companies to split off business in SYSCO Corporation’s new "foldout" strategy. The new company, SYSCO Food Services – West Coast Florida, Inc., was opened in January 1996 in Palmetto.

Ten years of explosive growth has necessitated the addition of 100% more warehouse space to our Palmetto facility. We are able to provide "complete customer satisfaction" in our expanded facility.  Our mission of “helping our customers succeed,” is what keeps us tweaking our commitment to excellence and hiring the finest professionals in all aspects of our operations.  Having our company located within our distribution area, allows our employees to support the local economies as well.
