About Us

Al Wachter, Vice President

Founded in 1976, Acorn Distributors Inc. has grown from a small restaurant supply house into a multi-million dollar distributor of floor care equipment, chemicals, sanitary maintenance materials, and foodservice supply products. Acorn’s geographically centralized location in Indianapolis, IN allows us to service customers in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky and other central states.  In 2007, Acorn acquired Cottingham Paper of Columbus, OH, which services the eastern United States.  Overall both branches service 21 states with 21 delivery trucks. 

Acorn supplies equipment, china, glassware, silverware, kitchen smallwares, tabletop items and furniture to the foodservice industry.  Our janitorial division supplies towels, tissue, trash can liners, chemicals and floor care equipment among other specialty janitorial items. 

As a member of two national buying organizations, Network Services Company and Allied Buying Corporation, we obtain aggressive pricing enabling us to provide ongoing local service to regional and national customers.

Acorn bases the values of trust, respect, and shared interest as the foundation for our customer partnerships. We know we can provide the highest quality and efficiency for our customers when we work together to achieve success.

Acorn’s primary concern is to learn about your business and to understand your needs. From our years of experience, we offer suggestions and alternatives to increase your efficiency and profitability. Your Acorn sales consultant, customer service representative and delivery driver stand ready to assist you.
