Legend Food Service, a provider of workplace convenience solutions, has acquired Vending Plus in Linthicum Heights, Maryland, and Jel-Cap Vending in Windsor Mill, Maryland, according to a press release. Both businesses will now operate underneath the Legend umbrella and be managed by the Legend executive team.

"We are thrilled to bring our fresh and innovative workplace food service to the Mid-Atlantic region," Kyle Loughran, founder and CEO of Legend, said in the press release. "We can now service customers from northern Virginia to Massachusetts."

Vending Plus started operating in 1986 and has customer relationships that span more than 30 years.

Jel-Cap Vending, founded by brothers Jerry, Elliot and Larry Caplan, started in the 1980s, as an extension of Caplan's Deli, then transitioned into a full-time vending operation in 1989.

Legend plans to invest and expand Jel-Cap Vending's commissary, allowing Legend to offer fresh food and catering services across the region.
