## History

James Capers' original business which was founded on 1885, grew into Pocahontas Foods.[2][5] The company became Performance Food Group in 1987.[2] In 2008, the company announced it was to be acquired by Wellspring Capital Management and Blackstone Group for $1.3 billion.[6][7] Two other foodservice companies owned by the private equity firms, snack food distributor Vistar and Italian foodservice company Roma Foods, were then merged into PFG. PFG went public on October 2, 2015, at NYSE with issuing 14.5 million shares at $19 per share.[8] The company is also a Fortune 500 company, which currently ranked at 114 as of 2021.[9][10]
