Whitsons Culinary Group Acquires Glendale Dining Services

Expanding Wholesome Foods and Personalized Services into New Communities

Islandia, NY, Feb. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Whitsons Culinary Group®, a recognized industry leader in contract food service management and prepared meals, has acquired Glendale Dining Services®. The acquisition enables Whitsons to expand its reach and mission of Enhancing Life One Meal at a Time™ further into residential communities in New England and beyond.

Whitsons and Glendale share the belief that wellness and good food go hand-in-hand and were both founded on the principles of dedication and personalized service.

Formerly located in Manchester, NH, Glendale is a provider of contracted services for senior living and long-term care communities. The Company provides fresh and nutritious food prepared onsite while managing food sourcing, menu creation, food safety, and brings over 50 locations in New England with over 400 team members.

Whitsons’ journey began in 1979 when Elmer and Gina Whitcomb purchased two restaurants on Long Island, NY. Their vision of a family business built on the values of food, family, and service has since evolved into one of the nation’s leading food service management companies, bringing people together through shared meals and meaningful connections.

“At Glendale, we distinguish ourselves with innovative solutions for today’s seniors and the residential living market, bringing the value and service for which Glendale is known, said James Hecker, President Glendale Dining Services.  “We look forward to continued growth as part of Whitsons Family of Companies, providing personalized services to our clients.”
