chefstore.com began life in the early days of the Internet. The Chef's Store, now chefstore.com, was brought online in 1995 when there were just a few restaurants with web sites on the Internet. Chefstore.com, incorporated in 1999, traces its lineage through both the restaurant supply business and technology businesses. Beginning life offline, it served restaurants in the Southern California region for almost two decades as The Chef's Store, LLC, and Avery Kitchen Supply. During that time, the company provided restaurant equipment and supplies for the food service industry as well as for the home cook seeking the same high-quality tools that chefs use. Under the contract/design arm of the business, the company oversaw the construction of thousands of restaurants and equipment installations in eateries from the corner coffee shop to Wolfgang Puck's cutting-edge Spago. Chefstore.com is recognized as one of the dominant professional cookware sites on the Internet.
Since the beginning of the new Millennium, chefstore.com has evolved from Culinary Outfitters to the food service industry and general public to Restaurant Outfitters, a B2B (business to business) company servicing the professional food industry. To accomplish this transformation, chefstore.com has leveraged its extensive experience in the online sale of kitchen-related products, its expertise in customer service and fulfillment and its professional teams vast experience to provide the foundation for its innovative e-procurement process to be used for the purchase of restaurant equipment and supplies. Home cooks will still be able to purchase our chef's quality professional equipment by clicking "For the Home" on the left navigation of our Home Page.
