Who we serve
Built for independent stores
Our founder ran stores before he ran a warehouse. That shows in the details: products carried in and put where you want them, one price list, and a rep who knows your shelves. You get the selection of a big distributor and the attention of a small one.
Tiendas and supermercados
The full Latin assortment: Mexican, Central American, Caribbean and South American brands, plus produce, dairy, meats and frozen.
Grocery and convenience stores
Add a Hispanic section that sells, or fill your beverage, snack and candy doors from one delivery.
Carnicerías, panaderías and more
Spices, tortillas, flour and mixes, disposables and cleaning supplies for specialty shops.
Run a restaurant or kitchen? KOS Foodservice is the division built for you.

Ordering
Order the way that fits your day
Web store
Your prices, your order history, the whole catalog. Build the order at the register or at home.

Your rep
Call, text or WhatsApp your rep. They know your store and can build the order with you.
Why stores switch to KOS
One price list. No games.
Prices are set in our system, not by the salesperson, so every store pays the same for the same case on the same day. You see your price before you order, and your invoice matches it.
- Weekly route delivery with our own trucks and drivers
- Product carried in and checked against the invoice
- 90–100% of your store from one supplier, so fewer trucks at your back door
- Promotions and flyers every two weeks
- A rep who answers the phone
Beyond delivery
Store setups, resets and consultations
A well-organized store sells more. Our team plans product placement, category flow and shelf space the way a chain would, then does the work with you. New store opening, full reset, or a Hispanic section in an existing store: we have done all three many times.
New store setup
Layout, category plan, opening order and a crew to set the shelves before you open the doors.
Store reset
Reorganize what you have so bestsellers get prime space and slow movers stop taking it up.
Brokering
Looking for a product or brand we do not stock yet? We use our supplier relationships to source it at a fair price.
Questions stores ask us
How do I open an account?
Fill out the new customer application. A rep calls within one business day to set up your prices, route day and web store login. Your first delivery usually follows on your next route day.
Where do you deliver?
Weekly routes from our warehouse in Antioch, Tennessee reach Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, North Carolina and Texas. Not on the list? Ask, routes grow where our customers are.
How do I see prices?
Once your account is active, your prices show in the web store and the app. Promotions go out by flyer every two weeks and show in the store too.
Can I order only part of my store from you?
Yes. Many stores start with one or two categories and add more once they see the service. Most end up buying 90–100% of their store from us.
Do you help with new stores?
Yes. Layout, category planning, opening orders and a crew to set the shelves. Tell us about the store and when you plan to open.
