About Gourmet Food Marketplace

Gourmet Food Marketplace (GFM) is a wholesale marketplace for specialty food, with integrated fulfillment, that supplies independent retailers, specialty grocers, restaurants, and cafes. Buyers source thousands of imported and domestic specialty products across a single catalog, place one order across many brands, and have it fulfilled and shipped by GFM.

Our mission

Removing the friction from wholesale specialty food

Independent food businesses have long been held back by high wholesale minimums and the hassle of buying from many suppliers one at a time. GFM removes that friction.

We bring specialty brands and importers together in one place, so a store or restaurant can find, buy, and reorder specialty food efficiently. No minimums, built for independent businesses.

Browse the range, from Italian specialty products and wholesale beverages to wholesale snacks, wholesale coffee, and organic.

Best before date transparency

Shelf life should never be a surprise

GFM is transparent about best before dates (BBD) on the specialty products we sell, so you can see the shelf life before you order and plan your sell-through with confidence. For a specialty buyer working with imported and premium products, that transparency protects both your margin and your customer experience.
