Walstrom's Catering

     A family owned and operated company, was created in 2003 by Jody Lockwood and David Younger. The Walstrom's name was derived from "Grandpa Bill Walstrom" who owned and operated the family candy store in Lakewood, Colorado many years ago. Like Grandpa Bill, Walstrom's Catering selects and produces all of its products with a philosophy of "Quality First."
