About Us

Family-Owned Since 1977

Lemate of New England, Inc. is a family-owned business that has proudly served liquor stores, bars and restaurants since 1977.

Our story began when our father moved from Ohio to Massachusetts and started building what would become Lemate of New England. Shortly after moving to Massachusetts, he met our mother, Marianne, and together they built their family and the family business.

Their son, Mark, and daughter, Cheryl, joined the business in 2008 and continue to carry on the family tradition today.

What began as a small family business has grown over nearly 50 years, but the way we do business has remained the same: quality products, dependable service and strong customer relationships. We’re proud that many of our customers have been with Lemate for decades.

Based in Foxboro, Massachusetts, we serve customers throughout Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, while continuing to expand our service throughout Maine.

WHAT MAKES LEMATE DIFFERENT

Only Buy What You Need

With more than 1,000 products, Lemate is a convenient, one-stop source for Mixes, Beverages, Bar Accessories, Food Products, Gift Bags, Garnishes, Seasonal Products and more.

We break down cases on many of our products, giving our customers the flexibility to purchase only what they need. This helps with product rotation and freshness while allowing stores to offer a wider variety without overstocking their shelves.

MORE THAN JUST A DELIVERY

We view our customers as partners and believe personal service is just as important as the products we sell.

Our experienced team offers product knowledge, merchandising support, seasonal promotions, in-store displays, quality racks and promotional materials to help you get the most out of the products you purchase from us.

Whether you’re an independent store, restaurant, bar or larger account, we take the time to understand your business and your needs.

THE PRODUCT THAT STARTED IT ALL

Lemate Sweet & Sour Mix

Lemate Sweet & Sour Mix has been part of our family business since the beginning. When Lemate was getting started, our father bottled the original Sweet & Sour Mix himself in his grandfather’s garage.

Nearly 50 years later, Lemate Sweet & Sour continues to be made with the same great-tasting formula our customers have relied on for decades.

Available in gallons and half gallons, it’s more than another product in our catalog. It’s part of the Lemate story.
