Who We Are

 As one of the Mid-Atlantic’s fastest growing, full-service wholesale distributors, Layman Distributing is proud of our diverse customer base. Our clients consist of retailers from all facets of the industry and include convenience stores, restaurants, universities, dining halls, vending services and independent grocers. Whether you are a chain or an independent operator, Layman can deliver your needs directly to your door. 

 For over 75 years, we’ve stayed true to our mission of nurturing partnerships with our customers based on integrity and respect; all the while delivering product variety, efficient service, relevant technology and ultra-competitive pricing.

With revenues exceeding $300 million annually, Layman Distributing is large enough to handle all our customer’s business, yet just the right size to ensure our customers feel their business is valued and important. We can match the competition product-for-product and price-for-price, but we deliver our services with a much more personalized touch. You see, we’re still a family-owned business. We hustle more. Our clients receive weekly or bi-weekly regular sales visits, next day delivery, and weekly and monthly promotions.

 We offer the most up-to-date technology, minimal delivery and fuel surcharges, and a world of innovative, real-world advice. When you partner with Layman, we deliver a dependable, rock-solid partnership that is committed to helping you grow your business.
