Curtis Food Recruiters Named to MSPBJ’s 2026 Largest Private Companies in Minnesota List
Curtis Food Recruiters has been named to the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal’s 2026 list of the Largest Private Companies in Minnesota.
The expanded 2026 ranking includes 374 privately held companies headquartered in Minnesota and is based primarily on 2025 revenue. For Curtis Food Recruiters, inclusion on the list is a meaningful milestone for a specialized, independently owned Minnesota business that has built a national presence in the food and beverage industry.
“There’s something meaningful about seeing CFR included alongside businesses of so many different sizes and industries across Minnesota,” said Melissa Kern, Director, Sourcing & Business Process at Curtis Food Recruiters. “We’ve stayed specialized and focused on what we do well, while continuing to grow our capabilities and the ways we support our clients.”
The recognition comes during Curtis Food Recruiters’ 20th year in business and adds to several other 2026 features in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal. Earlier this year, CFR ranked #4 on the Twin Cities Executive Search Firms list and was again named among the region’s Largest Women-Owned Businesses.
