Our Story

B & B Food Services was established in 2006 with a single truck owned by restaurateur, Baldomero Barrios who went on to open a small warehouse in Lockport, Illinois to service his growing chain of Mexican restaurants. Joined by his daughter, Jennifer, in 2008, who had recently graduated from University of Illinois, the two of them grew the business into a specialty food distributor delivering daily across the Chicagoland area. As the company prospered, they outgrew their space but also recognized the gap in the market for a flexible food service facility that could service the needs of not only their restaurant customers but across the complete spectrum of food warehousing requirements. As they searched Chicago for a suitable space, they realized nothing like that existed and they needed to build their own.

Their drive and vision led them to develop the first of its kind shared services food facility which newly opened in May of 2021. The fully USDA inspected and FDA registered facility offers every facet of food service solutions for any business size whether they are looking for storage to house their product, office space to grow their business, kitchens for demonstrating, storage for an overflow order, or distribution. B & B is a complete 3rd party logistics facility ready to partner with your food business. The Lockport, IL location is located within minutes of major Chicago freeways. The business remains family owned and is led by Jennifer who is passionate about all facets of the food business and delighted to share her space and experience with your team.
