As 2025 comes to a close, all of us at FRS (Foodservice & Restaurant Supply) are filled with gratitude as we reflect on a year of growth, collaboration, and steadfast service to foodservice professionals throughout the Carolinas. For more than 50 years, FRS has proudly stood as a trusted partner to operators — and this year reaffirmed our commitment to excellence in every kitchen we touch.

Our Mission, Then and Now

Since our founding, FRS has built its reputation on delivering commercial kitchen equipment and quality restaurant supplies with a uniquely local touch. Though part of the Innovative Foodservice Group (IFG) — giving us expanded reach and purchasing power — our service remains grounded in personal relationships, hands‑on support, and deep industry knowledge.

From Asheville to Charleston, Columbia to Florence, our four fully stocked showrooms have continued serving customers with integrity, reliability, and competitive pricing throughout 2025.

2025 Highlights & Milestones

🛠 Trusted Solutions for Every Kitchen

This year, we helped foodservice operators of all types find the right tools and equipment to elevate their operations — from commercial appliances to smallwares, prep tools to cleaning supplies. Our team took pride in guiding decisions that work in real kitchens every day.

📍 Local Presence, Regional Impact

Our showrooms in the Carolinas remained vibrant hubs for equipment discovery and expert consultation. Whether you visited us in Asheville, Charleston, Columbia, or Florence, our goal was the same — to provide solutions that keep your kitchen running smoothly and efficiently.

🤝 Partnership & Collaboration

Our connections within the foodservice community continued to deepen as we supported industry groups, engaged with local operators, and stayed plugged into the challenges and trends shaping restaurants and commercial kitchens across the region.

Looking Ahead to 2026

The year ahead promises even greater opportunities to serve and support you:

Expanded product offerings to keep pace with evolving industry needs.
Enhanced showroom experiences that help you make confident purchasing decisions.
Continued commitment to service that blends local expertise with the strength and reliability of IFG’s broader network.

We’re dedicated to helping foodservice professionals thrive — today, tomorrow, and well into the future.

Thank You for an Incredible Year

To our customers, partners, and community — thank you for the trust you place in us. Every consultation, every purchase, every interaction motivates us to raise the bar for service and support in everything we do.

Here’s to a successful and prosperous 2026 — and to all the kitchens we’ll continue to support along the way. 🍽️

With appreciation,
The FRS Team
