Olympic Store Fixtures Has A Huge Inventory

services, shopping

I've passed this place numerous times on my way to Midway Airport and today I stopped for a visit.  Olympic is a family business that's been around over 30 years;  father Tony and mother Vicky are joined by their daughter and son Harriet and Tony.  All seem to know their business "cold."

Harriet says that Olympic has the greatest variety of commercial equipment in the city.  They can  order from all manufacturers.  I noted many brands of those currently cool commercial stoves but all kinds of kitchen machinery (coffee systems, hot dog grills, french fryers, slicers and some mystery machines are just a sampling of items on view) are readily available.  Reconditioned equipment is carried as well and is fully warrantied.

If your mom's kitchen is always "open" here's the place to find a pretty reasonable electric sign that says so.

Clients include small restaurants just starting out as well as large chains, hotels, fast food places, churches, schools, etc.  Any home cook with a desire for a tortilla container or an amazingly substantial looking self cleaning stainless garlic press (just $10!) can find it here.  Every kitchen tool I could imagine is in stock along with multitudes of pans.  There are great ones for baking muffins in quantity.

Olympic has become known mostly through word of mouth.  Employees speak Spanish and Greek, both helpful in today's restaurant world.  English too, of course.

You might want to check out www.olympicstorefixtures.com but I recommend a personal visit as a lot more satisfying.

Hours are weekdays only from 8AM-6PM.  Olympic is at 4758 South Cicero Av.  Call 773.585.3755  for more specific info and prices.

Hi! Do they allow the use of credit cards in their restaurants and shops?
