Maximizing
Your potential
Independent Grocery Distributor Committed to Your Success in Convenience Store Retail & Foodservice.
Where your success matters most
We're a convenience store distributor with over 100 years of experience
At Lyons, we’re independent, just like you. And our success comes from your success. It’s why supplying the products in your kitchen and on your shelves is only a small part of the relationship we plan to build with you. Your Lyons sales team is composed of several layers, each with its own area of expertise and responsibility: vice president of sales; regional sales manager; territory sales manager; merchandising manager; merchandisers; customer service representative; and credit specialist. You’ll get to know your Lyons team members personally because the value of that relationship is the most important thing we offer and what truly separates us from our competitors.
