OUR STORY
In 2002, Columbia Restaurant Supply closed it's doors and left a void in the Tri-Cities. Wes Meares and his family decided at that point they wanted to fill that void by starting Western Equipment Sales. Today we are known as Western Restaurant Supply; a full service food service equipment dealer based in Richland, WA.
Our 10,000 sqft showroom is home to new equipment, smallwares, cutlery, kitchen tools and supplies in the heart of the Tri-Cities off of Highway 240. Our strengths are in design build services, restaurant general contracting, replacement parts, new and used equipment, and supplies. We are also the regions most trusted contractor for commercial hood systems, including sales and installation. If it goes into a kitchen or restaurant, we've got it.
FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS IN 2002
When the business was founded in 2002, it started in a small warehouse property out in East Kennewick. For 17 years we operated Western Equipment Sales out of a 2400 sq/ft warehouse, detached office building that used to be a model home for log cabin kits from another era, and a small detached shop. We a good selection of used equipment, a few new pieces of equipment, and nowhere to go but up.
A LOCAL COMPANY, SUPPORTING LOCAL BUSINESSES FOR 20 YEARS
For the past 20 years, we have been selling new and used restaurant equipment, and building restaurants and food trucks in the Columbia Basin area. From Yakima to Walla Walla, WA, and down into Eastern Oregon, our customer base is wide and our skill-set matches the demand.
In 2021, we expanded our reach and offerings to customers by selling to-go and janitorial supplies, paper products and more to local customers that come back again and again because of the excellent service we provide.
FAST FORWARD TO 2023 THE SKY IS THE LIMIT
2020-2022 was a difficult for many businesses, but we overcame our obstacles and reported record growth through the end of 2022. Our 10,000 sq/ft showroom in Richland,WA and our 5,000 sq/ft food truck production facility offer state-of-the-art capabilities in both design, and custom food truck build quality. We look to launch our company into 2023 by expanding our website functionality, wholesale online ordering, and improve the customer service as a whole.
