Restaurants along the Coast are receiving a variety of services from Hotel & Restaurant Supply, a company that’s been in business since 1953. The Gulfport branch is one of six locations with a well- stocked retail showroom that is open to the public and features supplies and equipment for almost
every aspect of the commercial kitchen and dining room. As part of its full service motto, this dealer can design and provide CAD drawings for a functional restaurant that
is both beautiful and efficient. They can produce custom fabricated stainless steel products and offer a full range of delivery/install options.
Thadius Biggers, general manager of Diamondhead Country Club, said “We have remodeled existing equipment here using Hotel & Restaurant Supply. Their equipment knowledge and their installers were fabulous.”
Island View Casino Resort Executive Chef David Crabtree also has praises. “Over the past 10 years they have been
a solid partner in our business supplying products and knowledge we use to ensure our customers have a truly wonderful experience,” he said.
“We have accomplished many projects together,” says Craig Ferguson, child nutrition specialist with the Bay- Waveland School District. “Hotel & Restaurant Supply has a great team of professionals, all with two goals in mind — meeting the needs and demands of this industry on the Gulf Coast.”

with one thing in common, a love for this company, its employees and above all its customers. That attitude is contagious. In this disconnected world of internet sales we still strive to add a personal touch to each customer’s experience.”
That service and growth are reflected in the company being listed in the top 20 dealers nationally by Foodservice Equipment & Supplies and Foodservice Equipment Reports magazines. They have also received numerous individual industry awards. Most notably, in 2010, President Jerry Greene received the industry’s Hall of Fame award given by Foodservice Equipment & Supplies magazine for a “career marked by honesty, integrity, and humility.”
