Grocers Supply

The Grocers Supply Co., Inc. is a wholesale grocery distributor with its headquarters in the Southeast Houston district, Houston, Texas. As of 2011, it was the largest grocery wholesale company in the Southwest United States.

David Kaplan and Nancy Sarnoff of the Houston Chronicle said that the company is "low-profile" and is most well known for the orange trucks. They said that it was one of the "strongest" American regional wholesalers. As of 2004 Grocers Supply had over 2,100 employees; most of them are in Houston. As of 2004, Grocer's Supply served Davis Food City, Fiesta Mart, Foodarama, Gerland's, Lewis Food Town, Rice Epicurean Markets, and Sellers Bros.

The company services an area within a 350-mile (560 km) radius of the center of Houston. It services 1,200 convenience stores, over 650 grocery stores, and 200 schools.

The company's main facility has over 747,752 square feet (69,468.4 m2) of space. A 211,611-square-foot (19,659.3 m2) cooler and freezer is across the street from the main warehouse. Grocers Supply has four satellite warehouses, all in Houston.

In 2014, Grocers Supply was acquired by C&S Wholesale Grocers.
