Background

About Arthur King

My passion for food comes from growing up in the restaurant, catering, and meat processing business where creating and enjoying quality food was at the center of everything we did. This background, coupled with my reputation for being “obnoxiously energetic” led me to launch “Cookin’ for College,” a popular website and YouTube channel, while I was at the University of Georgia studying Food Industry Marketing & Administration. These cooking videos highlighting low-cost, easy-to-prepare meals for a millennial audience earned television appearances on Fox & Friends, Paula's Best Dishes, and others. After college, I was thrilled to join Ultimate Sales, where I’ve stayed to support our customers with a unique combination of experience, insight, and a fresh approach.Since our launch, Ultimate Sales has led the charge introducing and growing foodservice sales for our A-list client manufacturers to our network of over c-stores in North America. After 25 years of leading the market in c-store foodservice, we are now expanding our focus to become a “one-stop shop” across all categories including candy, snacks, and packaged beverages for our customers. Because of the long-standing relationships and trust we’ve cultivated with both single-store operators and the largest chains in the country, we see expanding our product offerings as an opportunity to add value for our retailers. C-stores are not a division of our company, they ARE our company, and we’ve established strong relationships with retailers, distributors, and client manufacturers allowing us to work from concept to consumption, and every step in between.
