"I would highly recommend this company! I called and easily got in touch with a human who was able to facilitate my request from beginning to end. Eric was such an incredible representative, very knowledgable, very kind, and he cared a lot about ensuring the successful dispatch and delivery of my order. Very difficult to find such wonderful service these days - five stars!"

"My husband and I recently- as in yesterday opened our dream cafe. We had purchased a coffee maker for this from Eric. The first day, it wasn't keeping the coffee warm. I called Rapids, told them of my problem and figured it would take a few days for them to get back to me and it really made me feel great when I got a call back- I wish I could remember the nice lady's name- and she assured me they would take care of me and send a tech out. Within a couple of hours, the tech was there, fixing it, Dennis was respectful, knowledgeable , explained things that would help me make my unit last longer and fixed the problem. THEN the next day, I received a call from Eric , the sales man that ALWAYS is so helpful when Brent and I stop in. He has a great personality and he called to make sure it was running right, that the problem was solved and checked in. You do not get this kind of service from anyone hardly any longer! So I give this team of great service peeps a10 + stars because they helped out when we really needed it and didn't give us a run around.. we are so pleased with Eric, Dennis and the great lady that helped get it all lined up.. go to them.. they are the best!"

"I just wanted to personally thank Margarita for the incredible job she did in helping us with our kitchen equipment order. Her level of professionalism, organization, and attention to detail made all the difference. The fact that she took the time to put together three different quotes—ensuring we got the best pricing and options—really speaks to her dedication and competitiveness. She didn’t just match prices; she presented everything in such a clear and structured way that made the decision process seamless for us. Beyond that, I was genuinely blown away by her deep knowledge of the equipment itself. She had answers for everything, from which models fit our specific needs to what would work best in our type of establishment. Her expertise made a huge impact, and it’s rare to come across someone so well-versed in both the products and the industry they serve. Also, please pass along a big thank you to Scott. He really helped bring my vision to life when I wasn’t even sure what I needed. I came in with just a rough idea, and he took the initiative to guide me in the right direction. The teamwork between them was outstanding, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I truly appreciate everything they did for us, and I look forward to working with them again in the future!"

"I have worked with Rapids Wholesale for the last three years. They were a great resource in the buildout of my coffee shop. They answered all my questions about equipment and timelines. We have had to replace equipment as it has aged out for wear and tear and. Eric provided great customer service for us this fall. He was able to interpret my description of the equipment and provide me with documents to verify I was looking for the right replacement component. Rapids had the product on hand and I was able to purchase the product on site. Thanks for your great customer service and experience as always Eric."

"I called RAPIDS restaurant equipment this morning and talked to Scott Bonner who is your general manager. I had previously called six other restaurant equipment, places, and either got put on hold on a waiting list. Scott told me exactly what he had in the store and our Fryer was available For pick up. Upon reaching your store, I met scott and he dropped me directly to where the fryers were and we picked out the one we wanted. Scott is excellent for your company and deserves a raise. I give him five stars."

"If you need help with something from Rapids, call instead of live chat! I had an order for new beer faucets that was going on over a week with no updates and decided to call customer service. Alan was very kind and understanding over the phone, even working with me to offer higher-quality faucets at a lower cost to fit into both my urgent timeframe and budget! The whole call took less than 10 minutes and I was extremely appreciative. Will definitely buy from Rapids again!"

"Rapids Wholesale is a great company to work with. Besides the fact that they are local to us, they are quite quick in getting anything that we order into their store or shipped directly to us. Eric Colby the retail store manager is a wonderful person to work with. Eric has always been helpful in person and over the phone and has always worked with their vendors/suppliers to get us the best deals he can. This kind of attention to customer service has been a great incentive to shop for all of our Kitchen supplies and even personal kitchen items with Rapids. Eric has always been willing to get us a competitive quote, even up against online websites. Eric has been able to match or come in with the lowest price on many past purchases against both online and other wholesale competitors, which in the long run has saved us on shipping and getting our purchases a lot faster than ordering online."

"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!!"
