Products & Services

Apple Spice Junction was founded in 1988 as a box lunch delivery & catering business specializing in fresh deli cuisine. Since it’s origin, the company has focused on serving Utah’s corporate community, state and local government. What began as a small deli operation has grown into one of Utah’s largest box lunch delivery & catering business.

By 2002 Randy Clegg and Wayne Curtis, the managing partners, determined that the time was appropriate to expand their concept. The company now has a national profile and is being franchised across the country. 

Apple Spice Junction continues to grow because the staff is extremely friendly, provides excellent customer service and is sensitive to the needs of the business community.

The Apple Spice Junction employee enjoys a rewarding lifestyle that is not typical of the food industry. They generally work days, not evenings or weekends and are not required to work multiple shifts. This allows the company to retain their employees, reduce turnover and ensure a better experience for the customer. Mission Statement.
