Our Story
We're a business founded on great relationships.
We were founded in the heart of East Texas in 1981 by Monty Hill. Monty was blessed with a big personality and a knack for recognizing a need when he saw it. He had a wealth of experience in the food service industry. He spent two decades using his extensive networking skills and steely determination to grow multi-million dollar markets for Blendex breadings and Magnesol XL filter powder in the four state area: Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.
Monty turned over his interests in FourStates to his friends and longtime business partners, Tommy and Diane Allbright after his departure in the early 2000s. They continued to operate the company until April of 2015, when Monty’s daughter and son-in-law, Kellie and Jimmy Cavel, acquired the business and returned it to family ownership. Today, FourStates serves restaurants across the nation, not just the south.

As a former healthcare and HR professional with years of experience in administration. Making the transition to FourStates was an easy decision so she could work closely with family in a company her father built. Kellie contributes indispensable organizational and customer service skills that help to keep FourStates on track from day to day.
When Monty started our company, he had a vision for providing quality products to help restaurant and convenience store owners succeed. He'd worked in the food industry for many years and understood the challenges faced by small restaurants. He saw a need for reliable ingredients and supplies and caring customer service, and we honor his vision even today.
