What Foodservice Equipment Brokers does

Foodservice Equipment Brokers (FEB) is a privately held commercial foodservice equipment and supplies distributor founded in 1993 and headquartered in Springdale, Arkansas. The company sells cooking equipment, refrigeration, ice machines, food preparation equipment, smallwares, tabletop, beverage and bar supplies, storage and transportation, concessions, cleaning, dishwashing, plumbing, disposables, chef apparel, furniture, and replacement parts across 17+ product categories sourced from 50+ brands including Atosa USA, True Manufacturing, Vulcan, Manitowoc Ice, Vollrath, Cambro, Carlisle, and San Jamar. In addition to one-time equipment sales, FEB provides recurring equipment repair, custom kitchen design, custom fabrication, and equipment financing, operating through a hybrid model that combines a physical storefront, an e-commerce website (febcorp.com), inside sales consultants (Jeff Kimbrough, Gio Villasenor, Brenda Krupp), and an outside sales consultant (Sean Koch).

FEB's customer base spans enterprise corporations (Walmart, Tyson, JB Hunt), healthcare systems (Northwest Medical Center, UAMS, Washington Regional), educational institutions (University of Arkansas, John Brown University, Springdale and Bentonville Schools), national and regional QSR brands (McDonald's, Sonic, 7 Brew, Slim Chickens), and mid-market and local restaurants, hotels, and coffee operators. The company is affiliated with the Foodservice Equipment Distributors Association (FEDA), the National Association of Food Equipment Distributors (NAFED), and the Springdale Chamber of Commerce, and operates with an 11–50 employee headcount at a single U.S. location.

The business model is primarily transactional hardware resale with project-based quoting, supplemented by professional services (kitchen design, fabrication, repair) and managed financing. Revenue is generated per-unit on equipment ranging from under-$10 smallwares to over-$78,000 commercial combi ovens, with custom quotes for enterprise and institutional deployments. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with a regional field sales presence for large accounts, inside sales for project support, and e-commerce catalog access for broader U.S. buyers.
