The Albany-Dougherty Economic Development Commission (ADEDC) proudly celebrates a major business milestone in our community! WebstaurantStore, a leading online supplier of restaurant equipment and supplies, is marking 10 years of growth and success in Albany.

Since opening its distribution center on Mitchell Avenue in 2015, WebstaurantStore has expanded from just 12 employees to nearly 500, becoming a key employer and economic driver in the region.

"When companies like WebstaurantStore commit to growing in Albany, it strengthens our local economy, creates opportunities for residents, and enhances the overall business climate. We’re proud to have them here and look forward to their continued success."

To celebrate the milestone, ADEDC visited WebstaurantStore’s facility, meeting employees who have built their careers with the company. Among them is Jerrico Jackson, one of the first hires in 2015. Reflecting on a decade with WebstaurantStore, Jackson shared:
"They take care of us. The benefits, the opportunities for growth, the flexibility—it’s why I’m still here, and I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon."

Beyond job creation, WebstaurantStore fosters a strong workplace culture with monthly team meals, career advancement programs, and uncapped raises every six months—helping to attract and retain a dedicated workforce.
