ROSEMONT - US Foods said will acquire All American Foods, a broadline distributor based in North Kingstown, R.I., with annual sales of nearly $60 million.

Terms of the acquisition were not announced.

All American Foods was established in 1988 and has grown to offer more than 4,000 items to nearly 1,000 customers throughout Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut. The addition will further enhance US Food's ability to serve customers in the northeast region, an area of the country heavily populated with independent restaurants.

The company will continue to operate out of All American Food's current 65,000 square foot facility.

"The growth All American Foods has experienced over the last three decades is proof that their business model and commitment to customer service is strong," said John O'Carroll, northeast region president, US Foods. "We are looking forward to building on All American Foods' already strong reputation and bringing an even better experience to foodservice operators throughout Southern New England."

The transaction is expected to close at the end of February.
