Founded by Jameel Burkett (Sr.) and Mike Burkett in 1977, the company (aka Burkett & Sons Inc.) is family-owned and operated. The company had no web presence until 2005 when Jameel Burkett became vice president of operations. In 2006, the company won contracts with a rapidly growing national chain, which it used as its preferred supplier of pizza ovens and dough mixers. The company appeared in the Inc. magazine 2010 "Inc. 5000" list of the fastest growing companies in the US. For the year ending 2009, Burkett Restaurant Equipment was ranked #100 for food equipment dealers in Foodservice Equipment & Supplies magazine and the fastest growing dealers in the industry.
