AMCON Distributing Company (“AMCON” or “the Company”) (NYSE American: DIT), an Omaha, Nebraska-based Convenience Distributor is pleased to announce the acquisition of Henry’s Foods, Inc. (“Henry’s”), of Alexandria, Minnesota.

“We are honored that Brian Eidsvold and the Eidsvold family have chosen AMCON to continue the legacy and stewardship of their family held business that was established by Henry Eidsvold in 1929,” said Christopher H.

The Henry’s business and name will continue in the marketplace and the business will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMCON. Kellie Janssen will continue to lead the business in her role as President of Henry’s.
