The Hale-Halsell Company has grown from its modest roots as a food supplier to settlers in newly opened Indian Territory in Oklahoma at the turn of the twentieth century to flourish as one of the ten largest food wholesalers in the United States and one of the 400 largest privately owned companies in the country. By following a conservative strategy of growth and acquisitions, and constantly remaining focused on the importance of high quality customer service and employee relations, Hale-Halsell has thrived amid the ever-changing landscape of the food wholesaler industry. Over the years, the company has added a dozen subsidiaries, all of which are connected to Hale-Halsell's core competency of food supply. The largest is the Git-n-Go chain of convenience stores, with over 120 outlets operating across five states.
