New Regions, Same Trusted Support: Hess Now Serving Kansas and Nebraska

At Hess, we believe food service operators should never have to choose between performance and partnership. We’re proud to announce our service area now includes Kansas and Nebraska – two fast-growing regions with increasing demand for best-in-class commercial food equipment, consulting, and support.
Whether you operate a grocery store in Omaha, a convenience store in Wichita, or a food processing facility serving the Midwest, our team of commercial kitchen equipment consultants is right where you need us. We’re bringing in-stock food service equipment, 24/7 service, and expert consulting to help more food professionals maximize uptime and get the most out of what they have.
Filling a Critical Gap in Food Service Support
As food retail, food service, and food processing operations grow across the Midwest, operators are looking for more than just equipment. They need trusted industry experts who can guide decision-making, provide reliable service, and help keep kitchens and backrooms running smoothly. Hess is here to meet that demand.
By expanding into Kansas and Nebraska, we’re offering more localized support, including:
- One-on-one consulting for food processing and food retail operations
- Equipment training, re-training, and follow-up training for staff
- Responsive 24/7 service and preventative maintenance programs
We’re proud to bring our consultative approach and wide range of equipment solutions to these new markets.

We deliver products, but we also deliver proven solutions trusted by food service, food retail, and food processing operators across the country. Our expanded reach includes access to the same proven brands and equipment Hess is known for, including:
