We are thrilled to share that Heartland Coca-Cola has been named the 2024 Company of the Year by the Greater Kansas City Restaurant Association (GKCRA)! This prestigious honor recognizes our unwavering dedication to the restaurant industry and our continued support of the Kansas City metro community.
The award was announced during a reception at Q39 on November 12, where Kelly Magee of Q39 was also celebrated as the 2024 Restaurateur of the Year. Heartland’s nomination for this award came from Company Kitchen, a leader in workplace dining solutions, and was selected by a committee of industry representatives. The recognition will be officially celebrated on February 1, 2025, at the GKCRA President’s Inaugural Ball.
Since the award’s inception in 2007, the Company of the Year distinction has honored businesses that significantly contribute to the local restaurant industry. Heartland is proud to have supported the GKCRA’s mission to advocate for restaurants, provide valuable resources, and drive industry growth.
A huge thank-you goes out to our KC Hometown FSOP team and Equipment Services, whose dedication to serving our customers played a vital role in this success. This honor belongs to our entire Heartland team, whose hard work and commitment make moments like this possible.
