Cash-Wa Distributing is a family-owned food and beverage broadline distributor serving the Midwest and Great Plains from its base in Kearney, Nebraska. It maintains an extensive catalog, with more than 20,000 SKUs, to support a range of grocery and foodservice customers. The company traces its origins to 1934 when it began by delivering candy to local stores, and it remains privately owned by the Henning family with ongoing involvement across generations, led by CEO Tom Henning. It operates three distribution centers located in Kearney, Aberdeen, and Fargo to support regional coverage. The company serves foodservice operators and grocers in the Midwest and Great Plains, delivering a broad product catalog and distribution reach that supports procurement efficiency. In 2026, Cash-Wa Distributing was acquired by Performance Food Group, a development that integrates its operations into a larger distribution network.
