M. J. Kellner Foodservice

M. J. Kellner is a locally owned broadline foodservice distributor. We have everything a commercial kitchen needs to operate; Quality Foods, Equipment, Disposables, Smallwares, Beverage, Chemical and Dish Machines. We sell to restaurants, nursing homes, hospitals, and schools within a 125-mile radius of Springfield, IL. M. J. Kellner Foodservice has been serving Central Illinois for more than 100 years and are proud members of this community. Bill Kellner, our third-generation owner, didn’t have a 4th generation to carry on the family legacy, so he initiated an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. On October 31, 2021, the company became 100% employee-owned. This is at no cost to our employees and is a very generous retirement benefit for us to look forward to and work hard for every day. We come to work each day to exceed all of our customers’ food service needs and to be their most trusted and reliable partner. As the only local family-owned foodservice distributor in the Springfield area, we will continue to expand to meet the needs of our customers. We are committed to providing our customers with excellent service, top-quality products, and competitive pricing. To ensure we accomplish our goals, we partner with suppliers that are known and trusted throughout the food industry.
