The Corporate Essentials fleet of trucks is
ready for delivery.

"It's always a balance to want to
sell more variety and not have spoilage. When customers order, we have
always had just about everything in
stock," he said. "But now there are
issues in the supply chain because
manufacturers are backed up and shut
down because of the virus. Many are
paring down their lines, revisiting if
they really need to have 16 flavors of

an item. There's a shift. There's nothing that hasn't been touched in our
lives and businesses from COVID-19
and we have to continually adapt in
this evolving landscape."
Kleinman established fresh fruit
as a pantry staple several years ago. A
stickler for the details, he established
best practices to get the longest life
out of bananas, which only have a
three-to-five-day shelf life, by storing them in a dedicated room at the
optimum 58°F. to 64°F. "I don't want
to be second best," he stated. But with
reduced numbers of employees onsite,
its short shelf life and preference for
the sanitary nature of prepackaged
items amid the pandemic, fruit for the
time being is in far less demand.
Corporate Essentials supplied an
average 400 gallons of milk to its customer base every couple of days prior
to the COVID-19 and that demand
has been drastically reduced.
Likewise, Corporate Essentials was
among the first operators to provide
bulk candy, cereal and snacks as a
break room amenity, selling more
than 10,000 bulk "pour containers" a month. He devised a stringent
procedure for sanitizing and filling
the containers in-house and adhering
nutritional information labels to them.
SOLID FOUNDATION

As he navigates these challenging times,
Kleinman draws from a decades-long
leading role in office coffee service. His
career began in 1985 at Corey Food
Services, a division of Hershey Foods,
which was later acquired by ARA
Refreshment Services (now known as
Aramark). He rose through the ranks
to branch manager before leaving to
run Coffee Service and More, a division
of Wechsler Coffee. In 1996, Kleinman
set out on his own to launch Corporate
Essentials with partner OCS veterans
Tim Morgan and Ivan Mann.
While 2020's challenges are
unprecedented, his approach to
