AmeriServe announced today that it will end distribution services to approximately 900 Chick-fil-A restaurants, effective June 10, 2000. Chick-fil-A represents less than 5 percent of AmeriServe’s current annual revenue.

“While we regret losing Chick-fil-A as a customer, as we continue to restructure AmeriServe to meet today’s needs, we remain one of the largest distributors of food and supplies to the fast-food industry, serving more than 17,000 leading quick service restaurants nationwide,” said Ron Rittenmeyer, president and chief executive officer of AmeriServe.
