GFS Marketplace

A predominantly industry oriented food and restaurant supply shop which is also open to the public. Great to hit up for supplies if you are catering to a large group of people, like for a family bbq, but this location is very limited in fresh fruit, veggies and meat which I buy elsewhere. I like to come here for their large size containers of herbs and spices which I use in abundance and which you might not be able to buy elsewhere and also to buy their industry size tin foil and cling wrap. Anytime I’ve visited the staff have been helpful, someone has always come up to me and asked if I needed help finding something.
This place sells everything from pots and pans, knives, chef clothing, all sorts of platters and disposable plates, cups and utensils (my most saving grace this past year is those plastic baskets you get in a lot of restaurants with the butcher’s paper — great for giving kids a sandwich, hot dog, snacks) to huge cans of beans, blocks of sliced cheeses, massive bags of already chopped lettuce, huge bags of meatballs, giant cans of chopped tomatoes… you get the picture.
Sometimes you can luck out here and find a great deal in their clearance section on things like a giant size jar of olives for $ 2. Think you don’t eat olives that much? Buy a large jar and see how quickly you find you use them.

It’s the closest GFS with decent finds for wholesale items without the membership price. This is a quick spot to grab last minute items when prepping for parties or events. Parking is vast so need to worry about walking far from your parking spot, and this place is never busy. It beats waiting in those long lines at BJ’s or Costco.

There are certain items that are good to come get here, but some other items are just cheaper buying elsewhere. I come here mainly to buy disposable cups with lids because I like making to-​go smoothies in the morning. I’ve also found that they have good mixers for alcoholic drinks and are really inexpensive, so for your next party, come get some.

It’s been a while since I shopped at GFS. The good thing about this place is that you don’t have to pay a membership fee to shop here. I noticed a small part of the store looked a bit different… the aisle that carried the juices & sodas got smaller, and they added more freezers for frozen foods. The store sells wholesale foods and items at reasonable prices, but those prices can add up to big bucks; so while looking around, I managed to get a few things. A few employees who were on the floor were packing items on the shelves. The manager was walking around making sure things were going smoothly, and the cashier at the check out was nice and friendly. I would consider shopping here again if I’m in the area.
