At Eastern Quality Foods, growth isn’t just a goal—it’s a reality. As our business continues to expand, so does our need for space. That’s why we’re excited to announce that, beginning this summer, we’ll be kicking off a renovation of our corporate office. This project is designed to accommodate growth of up to 40% of our Ponte Vedra based team, ensuring we have the space and resources to continue delivering the exceptional service our customers rely on. 

Over the past decade, Eastern has experienced tremendous growth, strengthened our partnerships and expanded our reach in the protein distribution industry. To support this momentum, we’re investing in a workspace that fosters collaboration, innovation, and efficiency. We’re grateful to partner with local Jacksonville companies, RDB Invision and Office Images, to bring this vision to life. 

The renovation will modernize our office environment with: 

• More Workspaces: Expanding our footprint to welcome new team members. 
• A Modern Kitchen: Providing a professional, in-house space to test new products, create high-quality brand content, and provide a comfortable space for the team to meet and collaborate.   
• A Gym for Team Wellness: Supporting a healthy and active workplace. 
• A Fresh, Modern Look: Reflecting the energy and innovation of our brands.  

As we look forward to breaking ground, our CEO, Ted Rueger, shared: “This renovation is just one of the steps Eastern is taking to build for the future. This investment in our workspace is really an investment in our people and our future. Our new office will be a place that supports our goals of collaboration, innovation, customer service, and will allow us to grow and serve more people. Stay tuned for updates as we bring this vision to life!” 

We can’t wait to share the transformation with you. Here’s to growth, innovation, and an exciting new chapter at EQF! 

Eastern Quality Foods is excited to disclose that it has significantly expanded its beef trading operations with the assumption of the ASC-Meyners business operation. ASC-Meyners has operated under the same management for the past fifty years with its headquarters located nearby in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL.

ASC-Meyners maintains decades of successful international beef importing experience and expertise, complementing Eastern’s diverse wholesale protein distribution business. The newly formed “ASC-Meyners” division of Eastern Quality Foods includes key long term ASC-Meyners employees who will continue to provide the same valued importing and customer service experience. Eastern looks forward to expanding the distribution capabilities of this division with additional customer relationships and capital resources.
