Expanding Wholesome Foods and Personalized Services into New School Communities

Whitsons Culinary Group® is excited to announce the acquisition of The Abbey Group®. This acquisition enables Whitsons to expand our reach and mission of Enhancing Life One Meal at a Time™ into new school communities in New England.

Both Whitsons and The Abbey Group share a deep belief in the connection between wellness and good food. Founded on the principles of dedication, quality service, and personalized attention, Abbey Group has built a strong reputation across New England, serving school communities for over 25 years.

Whitsons began in 1979 when Elmer and Gina Whitcomb founded the company with a vision to unite communities through food, family, and service. Over the decades, Whitsons has grown from a small family-owned business into one of the nation’s leading food service management companies.

The alignment of values and service goals between our two organizations makes this partnership a natural fit, allowing us to further deliver on our shared mission. We are excited to welcome The Abbey Group into the Whitsons Family of Companies.
