New Menu App for School Meals and Other Changes

You’ll begin to see some exciting updates across your dining areas and we'll also be rolling out a state-of-the-art mobile menu viewing platform.

As you may have heard, The Abbey Group—your trusted foodservice provider—was recently acquired by Whitsons Culinary Group on July 23, 2025. This exciting partnership is built on a shared commitment to innovation, personalized service, and nourishing our communities through wholesome, high-quality meals. We’re excited to share what this means for you!
