Purchasing at the store does not require a membership however you'll take advantage of the member rates if you're a member and pay the $60 annual membership fee. The store opened in August 2025 replacing the Old Town Pottery store in the same location. And describing the store, I would say it's on par with the Costco business center on OBT only without the food. The footprint of the store is massive. We interacted with three associates during our visit and each was nice and outgoing offering assistance. Stan F. assisted us at checkout and was really pleasant and professional. A top notch business worth visiting.

They do cater mostly to restaurants, but they have many items that can be quite useful for the home cook. They have a good selection of bulk style food items, and just an endless supply of kitchen supplies. I hope to stop in soon and pick up a couple of knives along with a couple of pots and pans that were of interest to me. Some of the food items will be useful for me as well, and their prices were actually quite good.

We ended up buying half a cart full and are very satisfied. I shop at GFS because they carry several items I can't find anywhere else in Florida. Plus the deals on some of the larger items are much better than buying several small ones locally. Now that I know they will deliver to me I will probably shop more often. Granted they are more for restaurant supply and the like but there can be some really worthwhile deals on items you use more often.

Louis Wohl & Sons (the same folks who advertise on TV) have both a wholesale operation selling to commercial restaurant operations, as well as an entire retail store (Chef's Warehouse) which is open to the general public. The two facilities are located in a very large building along 46th Street in between Fowler Ave and Busch Blvd. The building is located in a quiet residential area of town, south of USF and very near MOSI. As you enter the doorway to Chef's Warehouse you're greeted by one of the staff who will gladly walk you around the store answering your questions and helping you find various items. If you're a home cook looking for items that are a bit sturdier, and will last a bit longer than what you might find in a high-end cookware store at the mall, then Chef's Warehouse is the spot for you. They have pots, pans, bakeware, cooking utensils, high-quality knives, cutting boards, bar ware, food storage containers, and a wide variety of plates, glasses, cutlery, and serving items. If you frequently throw dinner parties, or just enjoy entertaining at home then you'll marvel at the selection at Chef's Warehouse. This is the perfect place to visit if you have a small catering or food truck business. I walked in today looking for some extra half-sized sheet pans and cooling racks for tomorrow's big chicken wing roasting festivity, and found exactly what I wanted at a price MUCH cheaper than I would have paid at the better-known cookware stores. In general the quality of the cookware is superior since these items are designed to be used in commercial kitchens, and the price is often better as well. Take a tip and pay this place a visit!

Louis Wohl & Sons sell to commercial restaurants, but they also have the retail store "Chef's Warehouse". There are not many restaurant supply stores that are open to the public, so this was a great find. My boyfriend is a line cook, as well as a cook at home. He had become interested in buying newer/better cookware, similar to what he uses at his job. We have gone there twice, and left with a frying pan, chef's jacket, knife, knife guard, and meat thermometer. They also have chef shoes and pants, strainers, dishware, hot dog warmers, coolers, pots, and a myriad of other kitchen utensils. Since they mainly cater to restaurants, some of the prices are pretty steep for an individual. For example, we will not be paying $70 for a frying pan. However, there are plenty of reasonably priced options for those who are more money conscience. If you are a cook and interested in some high quality kitchen ware, you should check out this place.

When I went there the manager said she didn't know anything about it and couldn't find my name in the system so I paid for the saem items a second time and she told me she will speak to someone who she thinks knows about the mix up and agreed to refund me when she gets the info she needs and then said she put my information into the system a second time and would get back to me. I waited well over a month and she never contacted me so I went back into the store to ask what happened she then pretended she didn't know what i was talking about then went to she heard about it then a moment later she gave me every single detail about the conversation. I guess playing dumb didn't work for her especially when it got to the point that her lies got out of control. She then looked for my information again and then said that unless I own a restaurant none of my sales or information is stored at that point I asked her well if that is the case why pretend to add my information on 2 different occasions and then at that point she became angry with me and I said I am trying to treat you like a lady but you just want to sit here and lie to me I guess you are just someone who lies a whole lot and called her a lier. I walked out of her store paying for the same items twice and told her she has lost my business.

My boss/ sad Cleveland Indians fan and I stumbled upon Oceanic Restaurant Supply during our…read morepho-making quest. As I examined the tattered, post-apocalyptic front entrance, my loins swelled with excitement, and my shoulders rolled back which consequently puffed my chest. I could smell the kitchen gods screaming in my ear... "Big savings. Big savings, man." I sighed. I was ready. My first thoughts inside, though? "Oh my goodness, this place must have been featured on an episode of Hoarders (A&E)." With stacked brown boxes hugging the ceiling, dim sum steamer trays hovering overhead, and a grip of Japanese knives hanging from shelves, this store would probably wet an Asian restaurant owner's pants. And mine became wet, too, when I saw the marvelous, thirty-plus quart pots near the entrance for only $45ish. Sure, I don't like aluminum all too much, but for one-time use, and when compared to high-end kitchen stores that charge north of $100--although, very nice-- for something less than 15 quarts, it's a solid deal. But yeah, they have every kitchen supply one could ever want at an affordable price, such as a $2.79 soup skimmer. Hours earlier, we bought one for $20 at a fancy store. Crapppppp. The owner, who also works at a nearby cafe, answered all our questions and worked hard to find an ideally sized pot. I would have a cold beer with him. Heineken, of course. Dear homeboy or homegirl looking to cook pho -- peep this place to buy all the supplies you need.
