We are thrilled to announce that C&J Catering has been officially been named one of the Central Penn Business Journal’s Fastest Growing Companies of 2026. This prestigious recognition highlights our rapid growth across the region and reflects the hard work of our incredible team.
To be recognized alongside so many respected businesses in Central Pennsylvania is a major milestone. Our journey has always been guided by a dedication to culinary creativity, reliable service, and continuous evolution to meet the growing needs of our community.
“Being named to this list is a powerful validation of everything our team works toward every single day,” said Jamie Berger, Founder and CEO of C&J Catering. “When I started this company, my goal was simple: bring people together through great food and thoughtful hospitality. Watching that initial vision expand into a thriving, multi-faceted organization has been deeply rewarding. This achievement belongs to our dedicated staff who execute the work every single day, and the loyal clients who trust us with their most important moments.”
Over the past several years, C&J Catering has expanded far beyond traditional catering services. Today, our footprint encompasses full-scale venue management across the Commonwealth, corporate dining programs, large-scale event operations, and specialized culinary brands. Each division brings fresh energy to the regional food and event industry while maintaining the high standards our company was founded upon.
Even with this milestone, we are not slowing down. We are actively preparing several exciting new ventures that will further broaden our reach and capabilities.
“Growth at this level requires a strong operational backbone and a willingness to adapt,” said Derrick Still, COO of C&J Catering. “We have built a business structure that supports rapid scaling while keeping our quality and service consistent. As we expand our current operations and introduce new concepts to the market, our focus remains on execution, efficiency, and delivering exceptional experiences every time.”
This recognition would not be possible without our clients, event partners, and community supporters throughout Central Pennsylvania. Thank you for being part of our journey. We look forward to celebrating this honor with you as we prepare for an even bigger future ahead.
