A unit of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has been selected to distribute food to more than 200 Panda Express restaurants in the U.S. Southwest region, according to Business Wire.
The contract was awarded to McLane Foodservice, a division of McLane Co. McLane will provide "comprehensive supply chain services, including logistics, procurement, and inventory management solutions."
McLane describes itself as a "$30 billion supply chain services leader, providing grocery and foodservice supply chain solutions for thousands of convenience stores, mass merchants, drug stores and military locations, as well as thousands of chain restaurants throughout the United States."
With McLane, Buffett has a bet bet on the future of trucking. But if railroads win out as the preferred distribution method, he's also covered with a big bet on Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway and Union Pacific Corp.
