Layman Distributing

At Layman Distributing, we believe partnerships should be about more than products and profits. They should be about people, community, and making a real difference.
We’re already proud supporters of The Life Ring Foundation and their incredible mission to fight childhood cancer. Now, we’re proud to partner with Community Snacks to help expand that impact even further.
Through this partnership, a portion of proceeds from Community Snacks chip sales through Layman Distributing will help support the incredible mission of The Life Ring Foundation — providing hope, support, and resources to children fighting cancer and the families standing beside them every step of the way.
Business matters. Growth matters. But using our platform to give back matters too. We’re so incredibly grateful to work alongside partners who believe success means lifting up the communities we serve.

As we've said before, our 20th Anniversary Layman Expo was more than just a trade show — it was an experience. It was also reminder of what makes Layman different. The partnerships. The relationships. The feeling that once you become part of the Layman family, you remain part of it.

This recap video says it better than we ever could.
From an incredible Vendor & Customer Appreciation Gala at the historic Hotel Roanoke featuring amazing food, drinks, and live music from Jerry Wimmer & Bottom of the Barrel…
To an Expo floor packed with unbelievable deals, innovation, energy, and partnership from our vendor community…
To an outstanding food service seminar from Sharon Kuncl of UniPro…
To welcoming NFL Hall of Famer Marcus Allen as our special guest…
This year’s Expo truly had it all.

But the biggest takeaway wasn’t the entertainment, the deals, or even the special guests. It was hearing customers say things like:
“Once you come to Layman, you never leave.”
“We’re not just business associates — we’re family.”

That means everything to us!
Thank you to our vendors, customers, team members, and partners who helped make our 20th Anniversary Expo one to remember.

If you missed this year’s event, make plans now — because next year will be even bigger.
