FE&S Magazine Honors Clark Associates as the 2026 Dealer of the Year

FEDA distributor member Clark Associates has been selected as Foodservice Equipment & Supplies magazine’s 2026 Dealer of the Year.

The award marks the second time FE&S has recognized Clark Associates as its Dealer of the Year, with the previous honor coming in 2015. With $3.64 billion in revenue in 2024, Clark Associates was the top dealer on the 2025 FE&S Distribution Giants list. The company also recently opened a new logistics center in Hagerstown, Maryland, and a new retail location in Florida.

“While Clark Associates’ top-line growth is noteworthy, none of that would be possible without the company’s continued investment in its people and willingness to keep innovating through thoughtful application of technology, expansion of facilities, and much more,” FE&S Publisher Maureen Slocum said in an article announcing the award. “This combination fuels Clark Associates’ growth across many operator segments as it continues to provide value on its customers’ terms.”

Representatives from Clark Associates will accept the honor during FE&S’ Dealer of the Year & All-Industry Awards Gala on May 16 at the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago. The event takes place during the week of the National Restaurant Association Show.
