We’re looking forward to celebrating our 50th anniversary with you at the Annual National Conference – and we have some exciting news to share!
For 50 years we’ve been committed to K12. We’re proud to serve K12 schools with exceptional service, innovative solutions, and lasting partnerships. This milestone isn’t just about us—it’s about you and the success we’ve built together.
After 50 years of serving you as Schwan’s Food Service, we’re excited to share our new name: CJ Schwan’s. Same great team. Same great food. Same commitment to quality – just a new name that reflects who we are today.
We’re excited to celebrate with you at this year’s Annual National Conference.
