About Wagner Food Equipment

Founded in 1973 by Richard Walton Wagner, our company was built on a simple but rare premise: providing a true quality service experience. What began as a dedicated mission to support local kitchens has grown into a regional go-to with a team of over 20 factory-trained technicians.

As an Authorized Hobart Sales and Service Representative, we combine the personalized touch of a local business with the technical expertise of a national leader, supporting restaurants, schools, and healthcare facilities across Southwest Virginia.
