CEO Pete Jordano, The Jordano's Story

and trends in the food service industry

The story of Jordano’s Foodservice began long ago and continues today due to an unwavering commitment to quality, customer service and serving the community.

At the current helm is Peter C. Jordano, son to one of the four founding Jordano brothers. People don’t call him Mr. Jordano . . . he’s Pete.

Pete’s no-nonsense approach to his name parallels his 56 years in business. To Pete, it’s a simple equation where people, plus a dedication to quality and customer service, equals success. Frankly, that mentality hasn’t changed since the early 1900s when his grandfather, James Jordano, paved the way for the Jordano family.

Volunteers Needed

Shelterbox is an official partner with Rotary International, and the organization's President is our own Kerri Murray.

Shelterbox is hosting their annual benefit on Thursday, September 5th at 5:30 PM. They need volunteers to assist with greeting and registering guests, pouring wine, and hosting tents.

This event will be held in the lobby and on the back patio of the former QAD campus atop Ortega Hill. For those who haven't been there, it's truly one of the most beautiful views in town. Being able to walk inside the actual Shelter Box tents, that will be set up outside, is an unforgettable experience.

Volunteers are needed from 4:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Ideally, we would like to find 20 members who are willing to help out for two hours each. With enough help, we can split each position into two shifts, so everyone has a chance to enjoy the event and socialize as well.

If you can help, please contact Kim Stone at kim.lapecheevents.com
