OUR STORY

Groupex was established in 1984 by a small group of independent restaurants. Responding to pricing competition from large foodservice chains, this group combined their purchases to earn volume discounts and rebates. Today Groupex uses the buying power of its national membership base to negotiate savings on essential restaurant supplies and services.

Groupex programs cover the most essential foodservice products and services. Members save thousands of dollars on beverages, food, operational and financial programs.
