Five Star acquires Top of the Line Food Service in Louisville

Five Star Breaktime Solutions acquired Top of the Line (TOTL) Food Service, a family-owned business that has served the greater Louisville area with vending, micro markets and office coffee services for over 14 years. This acquisition, one of at least eight in 2024, strengthens Five Star’s footprint in Kentucky.

Top of the Line Food Service was founded in 2010 by Tom Williams, a professional with more than 30 years of experience in the vending industry, with support from his family. TOTL grew into a multi-route service provider. Williams will retire from Top of the Line Food Service to spend time with his family, but several TOTL employees will join Five Star Breaktime Solutions. Company leaders look to maintain and build on the high performance of TOTL while introducing additional resources to further enhance the customer experience.

"We are excited to partner with the Williams family and to continue serving the fine customers that Tom and his family have cared for over the years," said Richard Kelly, CEO of Five Star Breaktime Solutions, in a statement announcing the acquisition. "With our combined resources, we look forward to expanding our offerings in vending, micro markets, and office coffee services, ensuring that every client has an elevated break time experience."
