Bargreen Ellingson - Bozeman Bridget Babcock

About

Bargreen Ellingson is a family-owned, third-generation foodservice equipment, supply, and design company founded in 1960 and headquartered in Tacoma, Washington. The business began with only five employees operating out of a small facility but has since grown into one of the largest multi-service restaurant supply, design, chemical leasing, and fabrication organizations in the United States, serving customers throughout the Western U.S. and Canada. Today, the company operates more than 26 facilities and employs roughly 750 people while supporting over 28,000 unique customers with thousands of stocked products and supplier partnerships. Its “full spectrum” approach combines planning, design, fabrication, equipment supply, and operational support, allowing it to fully outfit virtually any type of foodservice operation—from independent restaurants and multi-unit chains to healthcare institutions, schools, corporate dining facilities, retail businesses, and hospitality venues. The company focuses heavily on building long-term partnerships rather than simply selling products, emphasizing customer relationships, innovation, and tailored solutions that help clients run efficient and profitable operations. Over the decades, strategic acquisitions and geographic expansion have strengthened its market presence, enabling consistent growth in revenue and workforce while broadening its service capabilities. Leadership has remained within the Ellingson family, helping preserve the organization’s original values of service, reliability, and industry expertise while adapting to modern operational technologies such as enterprise resource planning systems that connect its branches. With hundreds of active design-build projects, large distribution capabilities, and millions of annual delivery miles, the company continues to scale while maintaining a partner-driven philosophy centered on “serving those who serve others.” Its sustained expansion, strong customer base, and industry recognition—including major dealer awards—position it as a leading player in the North American foodservice equipment and supplies sector.
