What our customers are saying:
"I got this knife as a gift a year ago for my son. He is a produce manager at Stop & Shop. He loves this knife and uses it daily. He lost his and asked me to get him a replacement. My son is very happy and he is a perfectionist."

"I had accidently purchased the wrong lid for the container that I ordered. Spoke to Yvonne P. over the live chat that the website has. She was able to find the correct lid and send it to me for free. No hoops to jump through, no questions, no issues, very easy and quick. Great customer service."

"I had been looking for a set of parmesan cheese and pepper flake shakers everywhere. I finally found them on Rapids Wholesale Equipment. It was like finding hidden treasure! They were so inexpensive I couldn't believe the price, but ordered them thinking they might not be what I wanted. They came quickly and they are perfect. I will be looking for more items there now. Thank you for this great find!"

"This place is awesome and well worth the drive. I drove up from Riverside and I'm so glad I did. Whether you are looking for commercial equipment, in home supplies, or in my case, Christmas presents, this place has quality supplies at a fair price. I ended up with 8 cookie sheets (jelly-roll pans) because who can't use a brand new cookie sheet for holiday baking? 6 were gifts and 2 were gifts to myself. AND this place has good old fashioned customer service! Staff were so helpful, friendly and accommodating--I left with a big smile on my face! I highly recommend Rapids Wholesale Equipment"

"On October 30, 2022, our family restaurant exploded and burned. It was a total loss. Fast forward to April and May 2023. We met Eric. We were clueless on where to even begin purchasing equipment, dishes, tables and chairs, etc. We knew how to replace, but not how to start. Eric guided us with his years of knowledge in the restaurant supply business. He saw us at least twice a week for 2 months and was always smiling and helpful. He went above and beyond his job as a salesman to help us, he became our friend. Our experience with Rapids Wholesale Equipment was great, thanks to Eric and his expertise."

"We came across Rapids Wholesale completely by accident. We stopped in not knowing what to expect, but we knew we needed new kitchen equipment. We were greeted by Eric Colby, who put together a quote for us. My business partner and I went to lunch and decided to go back an hour later and purchase every item on our list!! Eric went above and beyond to help us out and walked us through everything we had requested. To top off the great customer service, we ordered our items on Monday, and they all showed up on Wednesday!! Talk about fast!!! Great Job to Eric and the whole team at Rapid Wholesale!!"

"Yvonne P. Was extremely helpful in assisting me funding the right bottle cooler for a very important customer. Been looking all day, called numerous companies to no avail, but Yvonne swooped in like a super hero and rescued my day"
