About Us

ARIZONA RESTAURANT SUPPLY, INC.  was started in 1975 as Tucson Scale - promoting the sales and service of scales.  During its first 10 years of operations, the Company expanded into the service of restaurant equipment, the sale of related parts and the sale of used restaurant equipment.  The Company’s name was changed in the 1970's to Tucson Scale & Food Equipment.

By 1985 when the Company was purchased by its’ present owner, Tucson Scale & Food Equipment was well established as a restaurant equipment service company with approximately 70% of  its’ sales in service and parts; 15% in the sale of reconditioned restaurant equipment and 15% in the sale and service of scales.

In 1988 the restaurant service and parts business was split off into a separate entity called Tucson Restaurant Equipment Service, Inc..  Tucson Scale & Food Equipment remained in the business of selling reconditioned restaurant equipment, the sale and service of scales and entered the new restaurant equipment market.  In 1991, we expanded our business to include the sale of smallwares and supplies.  In 1992 we joined the Pride Buying Group which has been a significant factor in helping ARIZONA RESTAURANT SUPPLY, INC. maintain a competitive position in the marketplace.  In 1999, we changed our name to ARIZONA RESTAURANT SUPPLY, INC. to more appropriately reflect the markets that we are serving.  ARIZONA RESTAURANT SUPPLY, INC. currently does projects throughout the State as well as in other parts of the Country and in Mexico.

In 2007 ARIZONA RESTAURANT SUPPLY, INC. moved into our new Corporate Headquarters – a new 40,000 square foot facility which includes 12,000 square feet of showroom, 6000 square feet of office and 22,000 square feet of warehouse.
