FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — National Convenience Distributors LLC has acquired Century Distributors Inc., one of the Mid-Atlantic region’s largest full-line wholesale distributors to the convenience- and grocery-store industries.

The companies did not disclose the financial terms of the transaction.

National Convenience Distributors has become the largest full-line convenience-store distributor servicing the Northeast, it said. Rockville, Md.-based Century will benefit from enhanced customer experiences, best practices, a centralized operating system integration, increased marketing power and go-to-market efficiencies and synergistic and collaborative programs, the companies said.

“We are delighted to be investing in Century and their dedicated team,” Jeff Allen, chief executive officer of National Convenience Distributors, said. “We operate our business with great people and Century is a perfect fit within the NCD family. Debbie and her team have spent decades cultivating valuable relationships with customers, and we look forward to continuing that growth together.”

Farmingdale, N.Y.-based National Convenience Distributors, formed through the acquisitions of Harold Levinson Associates, J. Polep Distribution Services, Allen Brothers Wholesale Distribution, Wustefeld Candy and Century Distributors, services more than 17,000 customers in the northeastern United States from Maine to Virginia as the country’s fourth-largest full-line convenience store distributor providing candy, snacks, fresh sandwiches and salads, cigarettes and cigars, coffee, ice cream and frozen and refrigerated foods.
