A: So I'm going to jump and make an assumption that you need the resident agent information because you are pursuing a lawsuit and need to serve Sysco Corp's Resident Agent. A few things - This is a huge company so be sure you are suing the correct entity is it Sysco Corp. or is it Sysco Food Services of Baltimore - or Sysco Business Services. Next and again because this is a large company that is headquartered in Texas you will want to confirm the state where you are initiating the lawsuit. This is a question of jurisdiction and whether you have standing to sue the business in a particular state, for example - does the Maryland court have jurisdiction to resolve your legal matter against Sysco based on the claims you are bringing. If so, you will want to perform a business entity search for Sysco Corp on the Maryland Business Express website. You can do that here: https://businessexpress.maryland.gov/

Scroll down to Maryland Business Entity Search. Type in the name of the entity, then select the correct entity from the search results. The website will navigate you over to the entity's corporate info that is available to the public, including the name of its resident agent. Best of luck!
