If you're looking for candy for your wedding/event candy bar, this is one of the best places to buy it from - promise! Also, if you need mix (pop/juice) for your event/bar the prices are awesome for those items too.

This place is a hit and miss. Some items are cheaper and some just doesn't make sense. If you run a…read morebusiness or a restaurant than maybe it will work out for you. Otherwise, it really depends on what you buy. Some items require you to buy in multiple of 2 or 3 or even a dozen. Not all items are in bulk or sold in multiples of many. I can find better prices elsewhere for most of the items here. I am guessing that is why the store is never busy.

Bill and his assistant, Teri/Tara? quite helpful with food warmers, etc. and sent a quote the very next day. Good service!

I LOVE this place!…read more Note that this chain of grocery stores used to be called "Cash and Carry". They must have changed their name fairly recently. I used to go to the Cash and Carry in Bellevue, WA before I moved to Vancouver, and I loved their can't-be-beat prices on many pantry staples. I recently needed a Cash and Carry fix, so I Googled the store in Bellingham (just an hour from Vancouver, max) and this store popped up. Yes, I drove an hour and crossed the border to get my fix (don't judge!). This site is somewhat hidden behind some office buildings but GPS found it okay. Like the other Cash and Carry stores, they have an abundance of boxes outside to take and use for your groceries, and unwieldy dollies for larger orders. For me, the biggest draw for this store is its AMAZING selection and low prices of coffee syrups! DaVinci and Toscani brands. OMG so many flavors and so many sugar free selections, and they all cost a fraction of what they go for elsewhere. A fraction. I'm not exaggerating. I stocked up on 10 bottles. These are the primary reason I love this store. The place isn't pretty. There are no fancy displays like at Whole Foods. But you don't pay Whole Foods prices. It's a warehouse. It's clean. It has most everything you need, grocery-wise, at the lowest prices around. If you need disposable plates or cutlery for parties or picnics (or if you're a room parent for your kid's classroom at school, like I was for a decade, in charge of class parties), this is the place to go. Hand's down.

Judging that I was in a jam they seemed more than happy to show me the door when I didn't think it was a reasonable solution offered (2hours of work missed, probably $20 in gas and I went back home empty handed without any kind of offer to mend for their mistakes along the way). Oh well Karma. I would not recommend dealing with this company not so much for the products they carry but their lack of ability to deal with their customers in a fair and equitable manner.

I spoke with Bill Mills MULTIPLE times. He verified it was available. This company does not take credit cards (which should of been a red flag). Once the wire was complete, I awaited my tracking info. Only to wake up to an email stating that they did not have the Belshaw product, but offered me a substantially lesser brand and model (that would not work for me) at the SAME PRICE. Once I told him I would just take a refund, he stated that was fine and would return my money. I just asked that he pay the $50 for the wire fee that I incurred since, they actually did not have the product I ordered. Not only did they not return the $50, they actually wired me $10 less than I paid on my original payment. So I am out $60. I very rarely write reviews, but as a small business owner, I am always looking for ways to save. Bill Mills & his business are a complete scam, and I don't want anyone else to have the issues I now am having. He has blocked me on the phone, and not responding to emails. I will make sure that every business they are associated with in good faith, knows that they are not a reputable vendor.

From a consumer's point of view, it's kinda of hard to gauge pricing; though Rob was helpful, when you're talking about tens of thousands of dollars, it's best to shop around. For instance, I saw my dream machine, a commerical milkshake mixer to make 3 at a time---guess we're talking about a drive-thru style a la United States --- for $995. One note is the warranty is VOIDED if you use it for residential use; guess asking for the GST # or restaurant name would clear that up in a jiffy lol. Besides, one would want this as a write off but I digress. Walking in from 7th Ave. (there's also the Manitoba entrance) the non-equipment goodies will be on your right: dishware, uniforms, pots/pans, etc. To me, there are other places that are bigger and more selection than here.
