Utah is now home to a Shamrock Foodservice Warehouse after a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Oct. 24. Sandy City Mayor Monica Zoltanski joined with Shamrock Chairman and CEO Kent McClellan to officially open the store at a ceremony with company officials and members of the South Valley Chamber of Commerce.
The 28,000-square-foot warehouse is the 14th in the chain and is located at 7880 S. 1300 E., Sandy. The company originated in Phoenix and now has warehouses in Albuquerque, Farmington, Roswell and Las Cruces, New Mexico; Colorado Springs, Denver, Fort Collins, Aurora, Louisville and Grand Junction, Colorado; Billings, Montana; El Paso, Texas; and Mesa and Phoenix, Arizona.
Shamrock specializes in the manufacturing and distribution of food and food-related products for restaurants, businesses and the general public. Items range from meats and seafoods to fresh produce and premium dairy products. In addition, the warehouses are stocked with disposables, cleaning products, kitchen equipment and appliances.
Our Shamrock Foodservice Warehouse stores are popular with restaurant operators and the general public, with professional chefs enjoying easy access to the high-quality products they depend on, and households having the opportunity to shop for the same products their favorite restaurants use,” said Emily George, senior vice president of marketing for Shamrock. “As both the foodservice and culinary industry thrive throughout the region, we want to be the area’s go-to resource for that movement. We look forward to demonstrating our commitment to this community by supporting restaurant operators, families, local nonprofits and more.”
No membership is required and the public is invited. The Sandy warehouse features more than 6,000 products. As part of the store-opening ceremonies, Shamrock donated $5,000 to Utah Food Bank to kick off its month-long in-store food drive to benefit the nonprofit organization.
