Holding board meetings weekly at Chattanooga landmark eateries such as Tomlinson’s, Edmund’s and the Read House, a small group of owners began negotiating bulk prices on milk, eggs and soap. A donated office, a refrigerator and the services of a secretary for phone orders launched Chattanooga Restaurant Supply into business. With a vision for growth, the tiny co-op acquired its first warehouse at 225 West Main Street with the help of a $1,800 pledge from its original members. Today, operating from a 26,000-square-foot facility at 822 East 11th Street, Chattanooga Restaurant Supply has grown into one of the Southeast’s leading wholesalers of food products, cooking supplies and paper products. To scores of independent restaurant owners, the name “Chattanooga Restaurant Supply” means: Local. One of only two wholesale food co-ops in the nation, Chattanooga Restaurant Supply has seen its core membership grow from six to nearly 150 restaurants and caterers in southeast Tennessee and north Georgia, plus . The co-op also serves the particular needs of hundreds more non-member customers. Quality.
