A Legacy of Quality, Choice & Service
Our Story Starts in 1972
Eddie and Ray Yen founded Yen Bros. Food Service out of the back of their father’s market on Robson Street in downtown Vancouver in 1972. Since the beginning, we’ve built our success on customer care—striving to understand and service your needs, so you can grow your business.
Our customer-first philosophy and commitment to offering a comprehensive product mix at competitive prices helped Yen Bros expand from a two-man operation to a staff of over 145.
Over the past five decades, we have grown into one of the largest independently owned foodservice distributors in the region.
In 2026, Yen Bros. Food Service joined the FDP Group. For customers, this means expanded reach, an even stronger product selection, and improved repacking and processing capabilities—while maintaining the responsive service and local knowledge Yen Bros is known for.
