About S&W Foods
S&W Foods, operating as S&W Wholesale, was founded in 1978 by Frank and Rosemary Spalitta in Hammond, Louisiana. The family-owned business began with a focus on serving foodservice operators throughout Tangipahoa Parish. Today, the company is led by their son, Paul Spalitta, representing second-generation ownership with a third generation emerging. The company functions as a broadline distributor, supplying a wide range of food and non-food items including produce, meats, breads, condiments, equipment, smallwares, paper goods, and cleaning supplies. Its distribution facility is located near the I-55/I-12 corridor, enabling rapid delivery across southeast Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. S&W maintains private-label brands such as Copper Creek Cattle Company and Captain Frank's Seafood, and partners with major suppliers including Unipro Foodservice, Campbell Foodservice, ConAgra Foodservice, Rich Products Corporation, Pillsbury, Hormel, General Mills, and Smithfield Foods. S&W serves a diverse customer base of independent and chain restaurants, including donut shops, coffee shops, Tex-Mex, Italian, Mediterranean, family dining, sandwich shops, and seafood establishments. The company emphasizes personal relationships and quick response times, noting it remained operational and made deliveries the day after Hurricanes Ida and Katrina when other distributors could not. The company's guiding principle, coined by the founder, is "Large enough to serve, small enough to care." S&W differentiates itself through independent ownership that allows flexibility without corporate red tape, a commitment to knowing customers by name, and specialized programs such as custom-cut steaks, fresh produce sourcing through Fresh Concepts, and artisanal cheeses via The Rind Cheese Company.
