Our table top can opener broke, and I ordered one from Amazon for $40. When it arrived, it…read morewouldn't open even a single #10 can. Not able to wait for another can opener to be shipped, I sent a guy to Salem Restaurant Equipment to pick up a new can opener and paid $115 for it. Much to my dismay, my employee returned with the same exact can opener I had paid $40 for on Amazon that didn't work. It did at least open a few cans, although the gear slips constantly and you have to turn the can manually for it to work. I know it's just a can opener, but the fact that they charged almost three times the price for it, coupled with the fact that they would even stock such a terrible piece of equipment has made me decide that I really don't want anything to do with Salem Restaurant Equipment. Oh, and FYI, SRE, if you're reading this, I paid a professional to install it exactly as the instructions said. No excuses.

I accompanied a few folks who had membership so I could check this place out. A large section of the store is one giant refrigerated section. They got jackets if you're cold. I saw meats and veg and fruit and cheese. So much cheese. And I was surprised at the amount of halal meats. Very clearly marked. Even had whole lamb. Lots of food products. They had an interesting pasta display too. Not 100% sure about prices but seemed comparable with Cash & Carry, if not cheaper. Worth a stop if you're in the biz.

After several negative experiences and a lack of selection at Costco, I cut up my membership and…read morestarted coming here instead for food items. I buy a lot of bulk items for meal prep- things like oats, flour, beans, rice, vegetables, etc. The prices here are awesome; in store, you'll pay about $2 a pound for oats (store brand) but here it's $1 for Bob's Red Mill organic oats. Same deal for other dry shelf goods- as someone getting into cheaper meal prepping, this really is the place to go for such deals. The store itself is very basic- concrete floors, high shelving, barebones customer service. It is meant for business customers but I come here for my house- they also carry industrial/commercial strength cleaners, kitchen equipment and janitorial supplies. They don't carry electronics, entertainment, prepackaged meals, clothing or anything else of that sort. I don't mind though- I just go elsewhere for those types of items. Depending on what you value, I'd say it is definitely worth coming to this store either as a business owner or individual.

For local ingredients the Farmers Market is the best source but be expected to pay 3x what they're worth (trust me I know I used to sell my goods at Farmers Markets). This C&C is clean and well stocked. They have an enormous variety and great weekly specials. I enjoy receiving coupons in the mail and finding new products when I visit weekly sometimes twice a week. You get to know the high volume times as well as the low volume times. Honestly, there are days and times when you have the entire store to yourself or you're stuck in line way back behind all the folks who thinks this is CostCo. Drives me nuts. I loved this store even more back when you had to prove you had a small business and it was exclusive but those days have long since passed and for some strange reason keeps the conversation with the employees humorous. Every time I've picked up the wrong thing - wrong yeast - wrong cheese - whatever, they are totally cool with bringing it back and exchanging it. No questions asked which is more than I can say for most food stores. And plus they will actually start carrying an item if you request it which also a huge bonus (my beloved Shepherd's Grain Flour I could only find at Puratos in BFE). So if you need excellent customer service, a huge selection and don't mind the folks who go there to buy one single carton of eggs to hold up the line you are in for a treat. I know I am - I'll be heading over in about a half hour to get my weekly goods.

I love walking up and down every aisle, marveling at the industrial size mixing bowls, baking supplies, ladles, rolling pins - you name it, it's here! Grills, griddles, fryers, cast iron - yep, got it! They also have a selection of bar ware, both the serving glasses and the tools to stock your own bar at home. Even neon signs! Since my dinnerware is white, I often come here to pick up additional serving platters, individual salt bowls, cream pitchers or whatever I need or just want to add to my table scale. Of course they have the large appliances - refrigerators, ovens, microwaves, wine refrigerators, etc. Prices are affordable and you can buy single pieces or bulk. Customer service is friendly, they greet you when you enter and let you browse. If you need assistance, they are there to help. That's exactly how I prefer it.

The owners were very kind and carefully wrapped my items - which I definitely appreciated for a long drive back. Highly recommend this store!
