Legend Food Service, a provider of workplace convenience solutions, has acquired Prince Frederick, Maryland-based Varsity Vending and Micro Markets for an undisclosed sum, according to a press release.

Varsity Vending will now operate under the Legend Food Service umbrella and be managed by the Legend Food executive team. Legend Foods intends to maintain Varsity's Prince Frederick operations and employees.

"We are providing both our business and investment thesis and expect to expand our operations to additional markets soon," Kyle Loughran, founder and CEO of Legend Food Service, said in the release.

Rob Sauls founded Varsity Vending in 1986 as Capital Food Service. Since its founding, the company has evolved into a full-service workplace solutions company and was one of the first operators in the area to offer micro markets to its customers.

Moving forward, Varsity Vending customers will have access to Legend Food's commissary offering of fresh food and corporate catering options.
