FE&S Names Bargreen Ellingson 2025 Dealer of the Year

Foodservice Equipment & Supplies named Washington-based Bargreen Ellingson the 2025 recipient of the magazine’s acclaimed Dealer of the Year Award.

“The third generation of Bargreen Ellingson has found a way to hold on to those attributes that have made the company successful for generations while plotting a new course of growth that takes this well-regarded dealership into new markets, geographies and more,” said Maureen Slocum, FE&S publisher. “As a result, one of the industry’s most well-known names has a fresh face and outlook that will position it for growth in the coming years and beyond.”

Bargreen Ellingson previously earned FE&S Dealer of the Year honors in 2008 and 1991. “While much about our business has changed in the three decades since this award was first bestowed upon Bargreen Ellingson, the common thread remains the culture and the values that are foundational to our company’s success,” said Eric Ellingson, executive vice president for Bargreen Ellingson. “I would like to thank FE&S magazine for the opportunity to celebrate the people that protect and propel those values in their daily interactions with customers and suppliers alike every single day.”

Bargreen Ellingson saw its revenue grow to $420 million in 2024 from $221 million in 2020. The company was the seventh largest foodservice equipment and supplies dealership in the country, per FE&S 2024 Distribution Giants study.

“This is a validation of the 740 people that show up and pour their hearts out for our customers, our suppliers and each other,” said David Ellingson, president of Bargreen Ellingson. “We are so proud of our team and the work they do every day.”

Representatives from Bargreen Ellingson will accept this honor during FE&S’ 2025 Dealer of the Year & All-Industry Awards Gala, which will take place Sat., May 17 at the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago.

FE&S is able to present its 2025 Dealer of the Year & All-Industry Awards Gala thanks to the support of its platinum sponsors: Alto-Shaam, Middleby, Parts Town and Welbilt, an Ali Group company.
