White Plains Linen Expands Nationally with Ecommerce Division Wholesale Chefwear

Wholesale Chefwear White Plains Linen

White Plains Linen, the New York Metropolitan area’s premier linen supplier, launched a new division aimed at servicing restaurants, catering venues, hotels, and country clubs outside of its rental service territory.

Wholesale Chefwear White Plains LinenWholesale Chefwear provides hospitality customers with a wide variety of back-of-house items including: chef coats, uniforms, aprons, hats, hair nets, vinyl gloves, floor mats and rugs, bar mops, towels, and more. In addition to offering this wide array of products at wholesale prices, Wholesale Chefwear offers affordable customization for all products. Restaurants can have their logo embroidered on apparel and floorcare items to make for a great first impression to customers.

The idea for the venture was sparked by an opportunity to serve restaurants outside of the White Plains Linen service area. The area, which includes New York City, the lower Hudson Valley, Northern New Jersey, and Western Connecticut, is serviced daily by over 60 trucks, and as word of White Plains Linen’s industry leading customer service got around, restaurants from outside of the territory showed a desire to partner with the 80-year-old firm.

“We have been overwhelmed with new restaurants looking for a reliable linen supplier that will give them good personal attention, but expanding our service area would have stretched us too thin,” said White Plains Linen CEO Bruce Botchman. “That’s when we decided to take on the role of a distributer to our brands so we could help hospitality establishments across the country gain access to quality back-of-house products at wholesale prices.”

While White Plains Linen is already the largest employer in Peekskill, NY, a city with over 25,000 residents, the launch of Wholesale Chefwear has added to that tally by creating jobs in merchandising and order fulfillment.
