About RE Services

RE Services' origin began with the founding of Restaurant Enterprises over 40 years ago by Earl and Sarah Ledbetter. Their two sons have carried on the tradition with Stan Ledbetter joining the company in 1972 and Steve Ledbetter in 1980. Prior to joining the family business, Stan earned a degree in accounting and worked at PriceWaterhouse, while Steve earned his degree in marketing and a Masters degree in hotel and restaurant management.

Stan and Steve have always believed in listening and providing innovative solutions to their clients' needs. This has included being one of the first to offer a soup and salad bar in an industrial setting, serving pizza on-site, and packaging platter food to sell through vending machines. Additionally, Stan and Steve were co-founders of the first automated pre-paid card company in the United States — Debitek, Inc.

The latest example of their innovation can be seen in the formation of RE Services. After proving their management capabilities through Restaurant Enterprises, the Ledbetters formed RE Services and purchased several additional food service companies from Coca-Cola Enterprises. The addition of these companies under the RE Services umbrella bring new and sustained life to your local member of the family. The Ledbetters have always operated Restaurant Enterprises as a family business, and now Steve and Stan's business are able to operate this family of companies.
