Don’t let the term«Food Service» mislead you in believing that bargains are to be found here. Gordon is a restaurant supply distributor that wisely decided to tap into the warehouse style consumer market. Gordon understands that this is an impulse buyers paradise. You will fill your cart with Paper, Plastic, Cans and Bottles to the point of insanity until they literally overflow like molten lava on to the floor. Then you realize you are not paying the price of «Wholesale», your paying the price of «Convenience». But the joke is actual on Gordon in the end because the«Home Stretch» is the frozen food isle. At this point there is no room in your«small cart» for oversized bags of Jalapeño Poppers, king size packaged Meatballs, an endless choice for Burgers and Fries, cryovac packaged Steaks and some kind of BBQ Pulled Pork option… not to mention Apple Pie for desert.

If you’re a party planner like myself, this place is GOLD. GFS literally has every food service item you can think of and in bulk. I’m talkin’ disposable plates, cups, trays, platters, tongs, bags — you name it! You can also find plenty of wholesale food, dining supplies, commercial kitchen equipment and cleaning supplies. Whether it’s for personal use or business, this place comes in handy! I’ve been told that if you frequent their store for business purposes you can set up a special business account that I believe gives you rewards and discounts. Something to look into!

I’ve gone to GFS for both personal and business purposes, and I would definitely recommend this store for either reason, depending on what your needs are. I wouldn’t recommend GFS as a substitute for your regular super-market, but as a place where you can find a great variety of options if you are having a party, or need to pack and move large quantities of food. You can find a good selection of packaging materials and bulk-size items, as well as other kitchen supplies you might find useful even if you don’t need them for a commercial kitchen. If your planning a large picnic, party, or bbq, you should definitely check this place out to help you with the logistical end of moving, storing, and serving large quantities of food. The staff is usually quite helpful and most of them are very friendly, and they do a good job of keeping the store clean. The prices here aren’t the best, but it’s relatively convenient, and offers a variety of things you might otherwise have a difficult time finding.
