Louisiana’s Leading Independent Foodservice Supplier
A family-owned broadline distributor, providing the service you expect from an independent company, with the inventory and pricing you need to run any kind of restaurant or foodservice operation.
Louisiana Owned & Operated
S&W Wholesale was founded in 1978 by Frank & Rosemary Spalitta, lifelong residents of Hammond, Louisiana. They began with a passion for serving local foodservice operators throughout Tangipahoa Parish. Today their son, Paul, continues to grow and build on their legacy by servicing throughout all of Southeast Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulfcoast.
As a locally born and locally grown Louisiana Broadline Distributor, S&W is invested in growing our local community. And as an independently owned distributor, S&W is able to react quickly to your needs without the red tape. With S&W, you’ll have the comfort of working with a company that knows you by name and treats you like family.
Fully-Loaded Broadline Distributor
S&W is a broadline distributor with a vast selection of food and non-food items. Produce, meats, breads, condiments, equipment, smallwares, paper goods, cleaning supplies, and much more — whatever you need to run your restaurant or other foodservice operation, we’ve got it.
Because we have major partnerships, including with the largest foodservice distribution cooperative in the U.S, Unipro Foodservice, we have the purchasing power to get you everything you need across your menu. And because we’re independent and focused on customer service, if we don’t have an item you need, we’ll get it.
S&W Private Brands and Special Programs
Operators face unprecedented challenges now more than ever, and are seeking ways to stand out from the competition with unique product offerings.
S&W is committed to providing operators with programs and product offerings that help to ensure your success. Quality and consistency are at the heart of everything. Check out our current special program offerings to see how we can better service you with opportunities like our new fresh produce program and cut steak program.

Our Partners
Our private label brands are top quality, but so are the brands of our biggest partners. We have strong relationships with major food suppliers such as Pillsbury, Hormel, General Mills, Smithfield Foods, and many more.
In conjunction with these partners, we have created a number of brand-specific programs designed to bring you new ideas, new ingredients, and cost savings. Click here to learn more about these branded programs.
Who We Serve
As the leading broadline distributor in the area, we service a variety of types of restaurants, from donut shops and coffee shops, to Tex-Mex, Italian and Mediterranean, to family dining, sandwich shops, and seafood. We love our many independent customers, and are able to serve them all just as well as we do the chains we supply.
Geographical Footprint
S & W‘s distribution facility is located near the 1-55 I-12 corridor. Our location enables us to be able to react rather quickly after natural disasters. After both Ida and Katrina, we were open and making deliveries the next day. Other distributors in our area were not able to service customers for days and weeks in some cases. Our dedicated employees along with our geographical location will always be an asset to our customer base. S&W currently services all of southeast Louisiana and parts of Mississippi.
S&W Special Programs
S&W Wholesale is your source for fresh produce. Our relationship with Fresh Concepts guarantees food safety, freshness, quality, and a wide variety of products including fresh fruit and vegetables, pre-cuts and salad blends. Our product availability includes local and organics when in season. We offer most items in full cases or convenient small packs. At S&W we do it right or we make it right.
S&W now offers a full selection of custom-cut steaks from the Copper Creek Cattle Company. Processed right here in Louisiana, Copper Creek’s Premium Black Angus is raised, sourced, and crafted with unwavering integrity solely within America’s heartland.
Thanks to our partnership with The Rind Cheese Company, we have a wide variety of high quality artisanal and speciality cheeses in stock. From specialty imports to fresh authentic domestic cheeses, we have a wide variety of options that will give you flexibility and versatility across your entire menu. You can purchase whole wheels or have your cheeses cut to order.
“When my father started the company in 1978, he came up with the slogan, ‘Large enough to serve, small enough to care.’ While we’re no longer that small company, we still live by the same principles. Deliver everything our customers need, develop relationships with them, and help them grow their businesses. Their success is our success.”
