History

Capers' original business grew into Pocahontas Foods.[1] The company became Performance Food Group in 1987.[1] In 2008, the company announced it was to be acquired by Wellspring Capital Management and Blackstone Group for $1.3 billion.[3][4] Two other foodservice companies owned by the private equity firms, snack food distributor Vistar and Italian foodservice company Roma Foods, were then merged into PFG. PFG went public in 2015.[5]
