Proven Revenue Growth Experience
Consolidation across the foodservice brokerage landscape has created a significant service gap in the Northeast, a region still heavily dependent on independent distributors and relationship-driven performance. Michael Gallagher and Brandon Williams recognized this unmet need and founded Trading Places Foodservice, LLC to fill the void.
The firm is owned and operated by its two principal partners, who bring more than 17 years of combined experience managing foodservice and CPG portfolios exceeding $190 million annually and generating over $11 million in incremental revenue. By operating as a home-based brokerage with a lean cost structure, Trading Places Foodservice can deliver superior, hands-on service at a fair and competitive price, without the high overhead associated with larger, legacy firms.
Industry contacts have already expressed strong interest in representation, reflecting both the founders’ credibility and the market’s appetite for a more flexible, relationship-focused brokerage model. Gallagher and Williams have built deep, long-standing relationships with distributors, operators, and manufacturers throughout the Northeast, many of whom have relied on their leadership in previous roles.
Their familiarity with the region’s stakeholders, decision-makers, and operational complexities gives the firm a strategic advantage from day one. This intimate knowledge of the foodservice network, combined with a proven track record of driving growth, positions Trading Places Consulting as a trusted partner for manufacturers seeking personalized attention, strategic execution, and meaningful market penetration.
