Sysco Central’s roots started in 1919 just on the outskirts of Peterborough as Strano Foodservice, a produce wholesaler. Since then, we have experienced dramatic growth. Our team has worked to develop the organization from a regional company to one of the best full-line food distributors in Peterborough and surrounding areas, covering the Kawartha and Muskoka regions and going as far north as Sault Ste Marie. As part of one of the largest foodservice distributors in the nation, our mission is to help our customers succeed.
At Sysco Central, we pride ourselves on our continued efforts to emphasize relationships on a local level and help our customers in every way possible. Having led the way as a food supplier in Peterborough for so many years, we have developed the talent and reach to go beyond the needs and expectations of our customers, and our mission is to deliver great products with exceptional service — because your success is our success.
We live, work, play, and dine in the same communities we serve. That means Sysco Central is not just professionally invested in your success, we’re personally connected to it, too.
Service may have become a rare commodity, but at Sysco, it’s what differentiates us. Specialized and customizable services are our pride and represent our engagement and the values we cultivate every day.

Sysco is committed to delivering Sysco-branded products that provide consistent and exceptional value at all quality levels. In addition to our four traditional Sysco brands, we offer proprietary meat and seafood, and specialty brands that put quality and flavour at the foodservice operator’s fingertips. Sysco proudly stands behind each and every Sysco brand product displaying the Quality Assured emblem. We guarantee that these products conform with our stringent standards for food safety, sanitation and consistency.
At our specialty meat company, Buckhead, we ensure that our meat, poultry and seafood are carefully sourced from suppliers who adhere to Sysco’s guidelines for quality, animal welfare and safe handling practices. We offer a wide variety of beef, pork and poultry items including custom cuts for the discerning operator that are sure to make your centre-of-the-plate the centre of attention. You won’t need to go looking anywhere else when you have Sysco as your food wholesaler in Peterborough.
Busy schedules and changing lifestyles has led to an increase in more people choosing take-out or delivery to enjoy their favourite restaurant meals. At Sysco we offer an extensive line-up of takeout packaging that allows you to offer the same quality to your patrons off-premise as you do when they are dining in.
