Business Industry Standing

A Local Story, A Mission To Serve, And A Drive To Succeed

Managing Partners John Garrison and Nick Householder began their direct distribution careers over two decades ago in Portland Oregon, and have continued to serve our local communities ever since.

After seeing a clear need for a distribution company that understands the unique needs of Oregon & Washington’s market, they launched Local Distribution LLC with one focus in mind: To bring unparalleled service, competitive prices, and fantastic products to local stores, big or small.

Two local entrepreneurs with deep PNW roots and a down-to-earth mindset, determined to shake up the game. You can count on Local Distribution LLC to deliver what others can’t!

Misconceptions
Often people believe Ice Cream is consumed only during the summer months which is rather inaccurate. In fact, Alaska is the #1 consumer (per capita) of Ice Cream in the US. Think about all those winter nights sitting in front of the fire or TV with a big bowl of Ice Cream… want some now don’t you!

Name Origin Story
It’s simple and straight forward… We’re a couple of local guys, with families, friends and lives based here on the westside of PDX. We believe is saying what you mean and meaning what you say so Local Distribution LLC covered all our bases.

Starting Up Stories
When we first started out, we’d often say, “we don’t even know what we don’t know yet.” We soon learnt that every time we said that, something came up that we didn’t know so we vowed to stop saying it! So far so good: )
