We are a husband and wife team who is dedicated to saving you money by providing quality, clean, and dependable used restaurant equipment for your new or existing food service operation.
We know first hand what it takes to start up a new food service business. Our family owned and operated a bakery for over 15 years. Like you, we put in long hours, dealt with lots of aggravation, and took home very little pay. We bought most of our commercial bakery equipment used, yet we still struggled for the first 5 years. If we had bought our equipment new, we wouldn’t have survived through the first year.
But now we’re out of the bakery business. We’ve found our little niche in life and have filled it with optimistic thoughts and prayers for the success of our customers.
We believe that hard work, positive thinking, fair dealing, the right treatment of people and having fun will always get desired results. We love what we do and enjoy the company of our customers, fellow business associates and friends.
You may have heard the grim statistic that 90% of all new restaurants close within their first year in business. Our goal and business purpose is to save you money – often times as much as 50% or more – on quality, used commercial food service equipment, allowing you to preserve critical working capital to keep your operation thriving.
We have recently relocated and downsized our business. Our new “appointment only” warehouse location is at 492 Brittain Rd, Akron, OH 44305. Our main business focus is now restaurant and bar furniture, but we still stock a few popular restaurant items. Our fine customers come from all over Northeast Ohio, including Akron, Canton, Massillon, Medina, Cleveland, Warren, Youngstown & Toledo. With our convenient location, we’re still close enough for customers in Western Pennsylvania and New York, Southern Michigan and Eastern Indiana too. We offer drop shipments of large furniture orders across the mainland US.
We also offer used restaurant equipment appraisals and liquidation auction services via Fast Track Marketplace. You can find us online regularly on eBay, Craigslist and our Facebook page “The Equipment Connection LTD”.
