Food product marketer and distributor Sysco continued its slide down the Fortune 500 this year as the pandemic kept restaurant demand largely depressed. The company dropped 10 spots on this list, its revenue decreasing 3% to $51 billion. However, it managed to more than double its profits year over year, to $524 million—a fact that reflects the gradual loosening of COVID-related restrictions throughout the year. In its fourth quarter, the company’s sales finally surpassed 2019 quarterly volume levels—another encouraging sign.
