The Kronos-Central
Story

Kronos-Central Distribution
evolved from Kronos Foods,
Inc. which was established
in 1975 and began its
operations with the
manufacturing and sale of its
patented KRONOMATIC
Gyros Broiler. It was then
that Kronos developed and
successfully marketed the
GYROKONES ...pre-formed
and ready to use. It was the
standardized GYROKONES
that led the way to the
success and popularity of
the Gyros sandwich today.

Our Mission

The Kronos-Central Team 

In the beginning of 1986, Kronos acquired the assets of Central Gyros Wholesale Company, a long time competitor and rival. The well established Central Gyros brand together with the company's respectable volume made this acquisition a significant achievement for Kronos. Today, the combined activity of the two brands represents over 60% of all Gyros sold in the Chicago metro area. Kronos and Central Brand Products are also sold to all types of food establishments throughout the United States.

In 1993 the decision was made to move towards broadline distribution. Since then we have added an assortment of products and now carry a full line of over 4,000 items. At present, we proudly serve over 1,800 accounts from our distribution center. Our delivery service covers the entire Chicagoland Metropolitan area, Northeast, Northwest and Central Indiana along with the greater Milwaukee area as well.

"We are proud members of F.A.B., Inc., a National Sales, Marketing & Procurement Cooperative.  Through this affiliation, we offer products of the highest quality and exceptional value under the private label brand Restaurant's Pride."

We currently operate out of a 67,000 square foot facility located off I-55 at Pulaski Ave. in Chicago. We've added a convenient pick up area for you to call ahead and pick up orders. Take I-55 and exit on Pulaski south. Turn right (west) at the first traffic light, we are located one block west on your right.
