Chef's Store on Eastway

[bluecar]

Where is this store located? I looked at website, but it seems like the "store" address is really the distribution center address.

EDIT - just found the address: 3304 Eastway Drive

It's the old Walmart at the corner of Eastway and Central.

Everything in the place is packaged for restaurants... The only products you can fit in a regular fridge is the sliced cheese or sliced cold cuts (5 pound bags).

The shopping carts are like IKEA's large carts for furniture.

What about cookware?

Anything you see in a restaurant, coffee shop, pub or bistro is what you will see in here.

6 burner big stove, coffee machines that you see in banquet halls, high end toasters, heating lamps, hotdog roller cooker like in 7-11, etc... you aren't going to walk in and get a $50 coffee maker or blender here... They are more in the $500 to $1500 range.

If you are shopping for a church or after school program it makes sense to go here...

They have take out containers and plastic cups in bulk. Unless you plan on throwing a large party, have a walk in freezer or meat locker there is no need to shop here.

It doesn't even look like a grocery store... it looks like a Home Depot or Lowes but instead of equipment it's bulk food items... and not Sam's bulk items. I'm talking about plain white boxes that say rice, beans, etc.

They sell bread by the loaf but it wasn't priced low... around $3.50 a loaf.
