Meet the Team

Our team at Dean’s Distributing is comprised of dedicated professionals with over 120 years of combined experience and a passion for delivering excellence in the food industry.

What Our Clients Have to Say

We have been customers of Dean’s Distributing and Shelly Spanu (in total) for approximately 30 years. We began doing business with Dean and now are devoted customers of Shelly Spanu and her staff. Their level of service and the sincere interest in our business makes us truly appreciate Dean’s Distributing and Shelly. We know that when we get product from Dean’s it will be of the highest quality and when we need information or consulting, Shelly is always available to (help) answer our questions or resolve a problem. We owe a large part of our success in the restaurant business to Deans Distributing and Shelly Spanu. We sincerely appreciate our relationship.

Mike Grunow, Owner, Lolo Creek Steakhouse

We have been working with Dean’s to set up a new cross dock partnership through URM and it has been one of the smoothest, efficiently run programs that I’ve dealt with in my time here. Shelly and her team are top-notch in every aspect of the process. Any problems that arise (which have been very few), they are on it swiftly to find an answer and get it resolved. Their priority is customer service and that’s clear when working with them. They will do everything they can for the customer – in every way possible.

Angie Flint, Meat Buyer Perishable Department, URM Stores Inc.

I have been dealing with Deans/Shelly Spanu for about four months at this location. I formerly dealt with Shelly at 2Js fresh market in Great Falls MT. I can’t say enough about the hard work and dedication that Shelly has for her customers. She goes above and beyond for her customers weekly. I think that she has a great understanding for clients and who she purchases from. I have been long on product, and she has helped me find another outlet to ensure I didn’t lose any profit. I think Shelly and the folks at Dean’s are super swell individuals.

Stanley Waddell, Missouri River Meats

Shelly and Troy are great folks to work with in the local Spokane Meat Industry. Their business model is built for growth, focused on customer service, and long- term partnerships. They are increasing their footprint in the Spokane Market, offering a diverse and increasing product line, and using modern technology to drive sales and growth. Their new website is very professional, yet down to earth! Rosauers is happy to partner with Dean’s operation moving into the future!

Mike Alfson, Meat Director, Rosauers
We have been doing business with Dean’s for many years and they have always done a great job. Their office staff have always been very easy to communicate with and very helpful. We are always able to rely on the fact that all of our deliveries will come in on time, and with the correct product. The owners Shelly and Troy have gone above and beyond to help us over the years and we will continue to do more business with them for many years to come.
Greg and Jodi Traband, Egger's Meats North
