GFS now open in Green Bay!

That's right. There's now a GFS Marketplace on Oneida St. in Ashwaubenon, next to Cook's Corner and Hancock Fabrics. (Applause!!!)
Many Wisconsinites may be wondering what in the world is a GFS. GFS stands for Gordon Food Service. GFS tauts itself as the world's largest family owned and operated food service distributor in North America. Essentially, it is a restaurant supply distributor that is open to us ordinary folks- at no fee.
While I'm not usually a fan of bulk food stores like Sam's Club or Costco, I LOVE GFS. They have fantastic deals on everything from paper plates, food storage containers, party supplies to deli meats, dairy items and frozen food items. Yoopers, you know what I'm talking about. There have been GFS Marketplaces in Escanaba and Marquette for more than a decade.
GFS is fantastic for the family or whatever business, school or organization you belong. My uncle who is instrumental in the Manistique Lakes Area Lion's Club is a frequent visitor to GFS. Before every church picnic, chicken roast, fish fry, or pancake brunch, he makes the GFS Marketplace his primary shopping destination for paper supplies, syrups, meat and picnic salads. GFS has some of the best potato salad this side of Grandma's kitchen. Their egg prices are egg-ceptional too- $3.99 for 36 eggs!!!
My family has been known to travel from Green Bay to Escanaba just to shop there. Really. Now we'll be able to go just a few minutes away.
