CHARLESTON, SC – Foodservice provider US Foods is growing its presence in the South and expanding its Chef’Store concept; the company is moving ahead with plans to open its fifth Chef’Store location in the Southern food mecca of Charleston, South Carolina.
According to local news source The Post and Courier, the Illinois-based foodservice provider will break ground on its new 59,000-square-foot Chef’Store location—located on 9 acres on the city’s upper peninsula—this month.
