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.
