Andstar, Inc. - A Galaxy of Quality Food Services

About our company

Founded in 2013, Andstar, Inc. is a North Carolina-based, privately owned company specializing in food service management, restaurants, franchising retail concepts, airport concessions, commercial and government facilities, and colleges and universities.

Our vision is simple: To be distinct and progressive.

For over 35 years, we’ve partnered with leading food service companies establishing local and national customized dining services to college campuses, corporations, healthcare organizations, travel venues, and public and private schools. Based on our years of experience and a keen sense of today’s rapidly expanding customer preferences, we have a passion to bring unique and creative dining offerings to you.

And although we’ve achieved tremendous success with our traditional food service platforms and established brand loyalty with our customers, Andstar, Inc. is dedicated to bringing fresh dining and retail offerings to the marketplace.

So, we set out to create a new venture to promote our vision and stay competitive. Through our market research we discovered that our customers demanded more options for international and healthy foods, local favorites, lifestyles, and an exceptional dining experience. They also expressed an interest in convenience shopping, specialty retail merchandise, and concessions.

And we delivered.

In April 2014, we, along with our partners, opened our first co-branded concept at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport featuring local favorites, Char-Grill and Salsaritas Fresh Cantina. And we’re slated to open five concepts in 2016 throughout the Southeast.

As a certified minority-owned business that is an Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) in North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC, we strive to maximize our opportunities to establish our dining and retail enterprises and expand as a sustained business entity throughout local, state and federal government agencies, military installations, and HUBZones through our partnership with the Carolinas Virginia Minority Supplier Development Council.

And we’re creating more than unique dining and retail concepts. We’re building a legacy for multigenerational opportunities committed to our core values of God, family, and business to promote knowledge, experience, and exposure among our associates to develop a successful lineage of entrepreneurship. Through our continuous efforts, we’re investing in our future.

At Andstar, Inc., we’re not just building restaurants. We’re creating unique dining services and shopping experiences.
