Ideal Meat & Specialty Food is a regional wholesale distributor specializing in
high-quality proteins, local grocery, and food service items.
Founded in 1950, we have grown from a small meat market to a top-notch distributor serving Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. We remain family-owned and dedicated to delivering exceptional customer service.

We serve national and regional grocery retailers, butcher shops, and restaurants.
We distribute throughout Indiana, western Ohio, southeastern Illinois and northern Kentucky.

We are proud to be one of the largest distributors of some of the Midwest's most popular brands, including St. Elmo's Seasonings & Sauces, Beeler's Pure Pork, Homemade Brand Ice Cream and many more.

Founded in 1950 by Nathan Stein, Ideal Meat & Specialty Food has always been a cornerstone for meat distribution in Indiana and the surrounding states.

For generations, Triple XXX Root Beer has been serving up rich, creamy root beer flavor with a nostalgic charm that keeps fans coming back for more.

Available in both cans and bottles, Triple XXX makes it easy to enjoy this timeless favorite anywhere. Whether it's served ice-cold at a backyard cookout, paired with a juicy burger, or poured over vanilla ice cream for the perfect root beer float, every sip delivers that unmistakable Triple XXX flavor.
For our retail partners: Triple XXX Root Beer brings nostalgic appeal, recognizable branding, and a loyal following to the beverage aisle. With both cans and bottles available, it's a versatile addition to refrigerated beverage cases, specialty soda displays, and seasonal promotions.
