“I am especially proud of the way our companies overcame the more difficult operating expense environment that resulted from higher fuel costs and harsh weather in the Northeast and the Midwest,” he said. “I remain optimistic about both the direction of our industry and SYSCO’s opportunity to capitalize on future sales and earnings gains.”
