The Favorite Foods story began 25 years ago. Brothers Jeff and Chris Barstow, the founders of Favorite Foods, started the company with a van and a plan to distribute dry goods to area restaurants. They had no direct distribution experience, and had never owned their own company, but they were confident they could service the restaurants of the NH and ME Seacoast. At the time, Favorite Foods' home was a leased 5,000 square foot unit in a multi-tenant building on West Road in Portsmouth, NH. Five years later, Favorite Foods was moved to a leased 15,000 square foot facility just off the Spaulding Turnpike in Newington, NH. Then, in 1999, Favorite Foods purchased and moved into a 24,000 square foot building in Somersworth, NH, where it is still located today. In the summer of 2008, a 26,000 square foot expansion was completed, giving the company a state-of-the-art 50,000 square foot facility. Additionally, Favorite Foods owns another 4 acres of land across the street for any future expansion needs.
