Taylor Sales and Service

Taylor Sales and Service serves Alabama’s commercial foodservice operators who demand reliable, high-performance equipment backed by expert service and long-term support. We specialize in representing the Middleby family of brands and delivering complete solutions — from installation to parts to rentals — making us the obvious choice for operators who value quality and partnership. Based in Irondale, Alabama (near Birmingham), the company was founded in 1983 by James Palmer as Southeastern Distributors. His son Jimmy Palmer, who started learning the business as a youngster, bought the operation in 1997 and renamed it to focus on the Taylor® brand – an industry leader of food service equipment for over 85 years! Taylor Sales and Service’s devotion to quality has helped the company build a client list including thousands of satisfied customers; serving single-shop Mom & Pop locations to national brands like McDonald’s® with hundreds of local restaurants. “We specialize in adding new food services to existing business and installing whole menus for startup business,” Jimmy says. “In partnering with Taylor the focus is on helping our customers increase their sales and expand their profits.”
