Where to buy commercial cling wrap in Kelowna

[kel7148]

Years ago someone gave me a a box of commercial cling wrap, the kind they use in restaurant kitchens. It was nice and wide, 20 inches, came in a box with the serrated edge cutter and it was large. The thing lasted me over 2 years. Sadly I ran out and I don't know where in Kelowna one can purchase it? All I see in the supermarkets are the little saran cling wraps. Those don't last and they are too narrow. I want the commercial grade stuff. Someone told me to look at the places where restaurants get their supplies, But that's wholesale, I just want one box. that and I not sure they sell to the general public.

Anybody have any ideas where I can get a box of the good stuff?

Try Costco ... got 4 boxes a few years ago - not sure if they still carry it but worth a look.

Or you can call Canadian Restaurant Supply 250-979-1442 and ask them if they have it in stock. They do sell to the general public so you could drop into their showroom and look around. If they don't have it, they should be able to steer you in the right direction.

Costco sells a big box enough to last years

I also use & love the 2500' roll from Costco :)

I know Shippers Supply carries the 20" wide rolls for wrapping Pallets, that is basically commercial cling-wrap... not sure if it comes in a box or not... worth a look!

I don't know if the pallet wrap would be considered food safe.

I called Canadian Restaurant Supply, they don't sell it. They told me most businesses get it through there food supplier. (GFS) Gordon Food Services or Sysco. Anybody dealt with these companies? i didn't get too far looking at their websites, short of setting up a corporate account. I haven't been to Costco yet, although I heard that they used to stock the commercial stuff, but don't anymore. I'll have to check it out in person.

Make friends with someone that orders through GFS, offer to pre-pay for a roll the next time they place an order...

I used to buy bread through a Cafe that purchased wholesale only :)

The problem with these places that you need a minimum order of $500 for delivery or get a big charge for delivery. Form experience it's just like the stuff you can by at Costco or Wholesale Club.
