With backgrounds and careers in vending distribution, Greg and Jayne, the owners of G & J, were looking for a change in 1984. With many manufacturer connections, they sought out what the vending and convenience industry needed at the time, a Florida broker. Packing their bags from Georgia to Florida, G & J was formed. Over the first years, milestones and successes were achieved but not without growing pains. Through strong relationships with manufacturers, G & J expanded their representation into Georgia and Alabama. While continuing to grow further into the southeast, by 2000, G & J became the very first regional broker. As opportunity kept knocking, by 2010, G & J was now a national broker with coverage of 48 states. In that year, G & J acquired Specmark and was able to forge a new relationship with Vistar and connect with many others in the industry that accelerated their growth.
