Serving Bakersfield Restaurants with Pride Since 1951

Three Generations. One Commitment to Quality, Service, and Relationships.

Alfred Louie, Inc. has been a trusted wholesale food distributor serving restaurants, commercial kitchens, caterers, and food-service businesses for over 70 years. What began as a family business has grown into a dependable supply partner for countless local restaurants, while remaining grounded in the values that helped build our reputation.

Our story started with Alfred Louie, whose entrepreneurial spirit laid the foundation for the company. In 1979, Alfred's son, Victor Louie, and brother, Sam Louie, took over operations and officially incorporated the business. Together, they spent decades building strong relationships throughout the local restaurant community by providing quality products, dependable service, and fair pricing.

Built on Relationships, Not Transactions

From the beginning, Alfred Louie, Inc. has believed that success comes from helping customers succeed.

Restaurants face enough challenges without having to worry about unreliable suppliers, inconsistent inventory, or poor customer service. That's why we've always focused on being more than just a distributor. We strive to be a dependable partner that restaurant owners can count on day after day.

Over the years, we've earned the trust of restaurants throughout Bakersfield by delivering the products they need and providing the personalized service they deserve.

Evolving with the Restaurant Industry

The food-service industry has changed dramatically since 1979. Technology, consumer expectations, supply chains, and restaurant operations continue to evolve at a rapid pace.

Following the passing of Victor Louie in 2024, leadership transitioned to his son, Michael Louie, making him the third generation of the Louie family to lead the company.

Today, Michael is focused on preserving the family legacy while continuing to modernize the business for today's restaurant environment. By embracing technology, improving operational efficiency, and strengthening customer relationships, he is helping position Alfred Louie, Inc. for the future while honoring the values that have guided the company for decades.
