Countrywide was established three decades ago by a group of food service distributors to increase their buying power and level the playing field with the big corporate food service operators. Countrywide is a cooperative in the true sense of the word. Our cooperative business model creates the scale needed to provide stronger trading terms, industry leading buying and marketing programs, and Member Services that give independent family businesses a competitive edge whilst allowing them to maintain their identities. Because a cooperative is owned by, and operated for, the benefit of the people at the heart of the organisation rather than outside investors, we can focus on helping our Members succeed. For over 30 years, Countrywide has proven the success of the cooperative model.
Countrywide is Australia’s largest network of independent food service distributors bringing together the best of both worlds: the scale and strength of a national organisation, combined with the personalised service only locals can provide.
Servicing over 80,000 outlets across restaurants, cafes, clubs and pubs, hotels and motels, catering and function centres, workplace canteens, quick service restaurants, education, hospitals military and prisons, Countrywide strives to be the food service industry’s first choice distribution solution.
