Wholesale distributor · CA
One stop for food service, PPE & janitorial.
Subsistence Inc supplies restaurants, schools, care facilities, farms and janitorial teams across the San Joaquin Valley and California Central Coast — by the case, at wholesale prices, on a regular schedule.
Why Subsistence
Quality that holds up. Pricing that comes back today.
Commercial grade, every case.
Food service containers, PPE, janitorial and packaging supplies made for real kitchens and facilities — not household substitutes. Stocked deep and restocked on a schedule, so what you order is what shows up.
- Built for daily, high-volume use
- Stocked in the warehouse, not on backorder
- One account across all four lines
Case, pallet and bulk pricing.
Send your list and we price the whole thing at once — case rates, pallet rates and volume pricing, back to you usually the same business day. No minimums you did not agree to.
