You find everything you need here to run your restaurant or your Gresham Farmers Market baklava stand... Customer service tends to be good. Sometimes though it's hard to find help because the place is so large. They have humongous Frozen food section. You really need a good if you're going to spend anytime in there. You can also find utensils and food containers not just groceries. Parking is never an issue, as their parking lots tend to be a large.

They make Costco look like a 7-11 as far as size goes and their cashiers are always very friendly - everyone has that 'in the know' business feel to them which is not for everyone. The huge racks going in are amusing since people are shopping here for cases. Definitely drop on it if you want to do a whole lot of walking.

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.

Great resource for the average person to get restaurant style supplies and quantities at excellent…read moreprices. Probably great for actual restaurants too, but I can only speak for myself as a casual shopper (I have seen folks from restaurants loading up on supplies). What does this mean in practice? Well I go here when I am hosting people or cooking in bulk. I get 5lbs loafs of mozzarella here for my pizza cooking, massive bags of chocolate chips if I'm making dozens of cookies, all sorts of large quantities of frozen appetizers, giant chunks of delicious cheese for appetizers, even bags of ice are cheaper than the grocery (and larger). I thought Costco had me covered on bulk items, but it's really not the same (and I love Costco). I shop at both. In my opinion Chef Store bulk cheese is unbeatable. Good selection and fantastic bulk prices. Highly recommend checking it out. I wish I had more occasions to take advantage of their cheese deals. Also easy access in the city, parking lot is easy, very laid back vibe whenever I've been there.

If you're in the market for good quality knives, cookware, or bar supplies take a look here before you blow a ton of money at the high end kitchenware stores. You will be pleasantly surprised with the difference in price, and quality. Having worked in a number of commercial kitchens myself, trust me, these products can stand up to about anything you can throw at them. I usually browse through here after I have been to Pacifica candle warehouse across the street. I'm impressed by their selection, and they're helpful. My nephew wanted an extra large cutting board. I wasn't able to find what he was looking for anywhere else, but they had just what he wanted, and it was less than the smaller boards I was looking at. I plan to pick up a cocktail shaker and muddler the next time I'm in. Anyway, I recommend that you take a browse for yourself.

This could never be my weekly or monthly grocery store since I don't own a restaurant, but if I need to buy large quantities or specific items for a BBQ or gathering, it's worth checking out. Since you never know what will catch your eye, I recommend walking up and down every aisle just to see what the offerings are. In addition to food, I've picked up party toothpicks and paper goods. Some prices are exceptional, others, not so much.

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