Description Five Star has been expertly stitched together like a tightly woven quilt comprised of the South’s best family businesses in vending and foodservice backed by southern hospitality and world-class service to companies across the Southeast and Midwest.

Five Star is owned by New York and Los Angeles-based private equity firm Freeman Spogli & Co. who acquired the company in 2019. Freeman Spogli & Co. is dedicated exclusively to investing in and partnering with management in consumer and distribution companies.
