I'm still not positive this meets WP:GNG but it is enough to stop me from nominating the article for deletion myself. Ian.thomson (talk) 21:01, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

Request edit
Our client, CHEF’STORE, is asking for changes to be made to the company page. Update the article title and the page URL to US Foods CHEF'STORE. Please change the logo to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:USFoods_CHEFSTORE_Logo.png. In the infobox, update the number of locations to 82. In the first sentence of the opening paragraph, add these states to the list of chain locations using this text: In the second sentence of the opening paragraph, replace “80 stores as of the end of March 2020” with “82 stores at the end of May 2022.” Correct the third sentence of the opening paragraph by updating the number of locations in each state: Update the last sentence of the opening from “The company is based in Portland, Oregon.” to “The company is based in West Linn, Oregon, and Rosemont, Illinois.” Add a new “History” subheading below the opening paragraph. CHEF’STORE would like what is currently the second paragraph to now be the first paragraph under the new History section. Beneath that paragraph, add this text: Delete the “Relationship to Smart & Final” section as it’s not relevant. Include CHEF’STORE as an external link: Company website Remove both the Smart Foodservice and the Smart & Final external links. They are not relevant. MY2017 (talk) 14:55, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
