ACityDiscount Restaurant Equipment

What ACityDiscount Restaurant Equipment does

ACityDiscount Restaurant Equipment (legal entity PeachTrader, Inc.) is a private, full-service foodservice equipment distributor founded in 1973 and headquartered at a 60,000 sq ft showroom in Norcross, GA. The company sells new and used commercial kitchen equipment across eight major categories — commercial kitchen equipment, refrigeration, ice machines, bar equipment, catering and dining, concession equipment, restaurant furniture, and smallwares — to a horizontally segmented base of foodservice operators including restaurants, bars, schools, churches, and food trucks. It runs a hybrid omnichannel model combining a 24/7 nationwide e-commerce platform (ACityDiscount.com, powered by PeachTrader, Inc. technology) with a six-day physical showroom and a direct B2B sales team.

The company generates revenue through five primary streams: new equipment sales, used equipment sales, financing facilitation (via Credit Key, Centra Culinary Finance, and SilverChef partnerships), professional services (CAD restaurant design, equipment rental, local delivery and assembly, custom bar configuration), and a loyalty subscription mechanics (PeachPoints). Public catalog pricing is the norm for hardware, with financing available on purchases above $2,000. Value-added services like CAD layout, permitting drawings, and used-equipment buyback ("Sell Your Equipment") extend margins and create a vertically integrated used-inventory supply pipeline. The company holds memberships in the Georgia Restaurant Association, FEDA, and SEFA, and its product catalog carries sector certifications including NSF (1,248 products), ETL (304), UL (283), CSA (122), and Energy Star (51).

There is no public disclosure of revenue, funding history, executive leadership team, or proprietary technology platform beyond the underlying PeachTrader, Inc. e-commerce infrastructure. With 101–250 employees and 50+ years of continuous operation, the business appears to be a mature, profitable, owner-operated regional distributor that has incrementally scaled its product breadth, financing ecosystem, and digital presence without venture capital backing or aggressive geographic expansion.

Regional players

• The Restaurant Store: Cash-and-carry restaurant supply retailer operating primarily in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast U.S. Comparable model (in-person shopping, broad equipment catalog) to ACityDiscount's showroom business, though operating in a different geography and competing only indirectly in the Southeast.

Direct peers

• Tundra Restaurant Supply: Online and catalog-based restaurant equipment and supply retailer serving commercial kitchens. Directly comparable omnichannel model with e-commerce plus bulk supply, overlapping product categories (cooking, refrigeration, bar, smallwares), and similar target customer base of independent restaurants and foodservice operators.
• Central Restaurant Products: Indianapolis-based restaurant equipment and supply retailer operating a large showroom plus e-commerce. Direct competitor with comparable product categories (cooking, refrigeration, bar, furniture), target market (restaurants, schools, churches), and value-added services like design consultation.
• Restaurant Depot: Membership-based cash-and-carry warehouse retailer serving foodservice operators with restaurant equipment and supplies. Over 150 locations nationwide, offering new equipment at wholesale-style pricing. Competes with ACityDiscount's showroom and new equipment business for the same SMB and institutional foodservice buyers.
• KaTom Restaurant Supply: Knoxville, Tennessee-based restaurant supply company with a 60,000 sq ft showroom, e-commerce platform, and broad catalog of commercial kitchen equipment. Closely comparable to ACityDiscount in scale, business model, and product breadth, including its financing options and design services.
• Webstaurant Store: The largest online-only restaurant supply retailer in the U.S., operated by Clark Associates. Directly comparable to ACityDiscount in product breadth across commercial kitchen equipment, refrigeration, and smallwares, with overlapping B2B foodservice operator customer base but a much larger catalog and national logistics footprint.
• CKitchen (C&K Manufacturing & Sales): Long-standing family-owned restaurant equipment and supply dealer in the Southeast, with a Norcross-adjacent location and a 60,000+ sq ft showroom. Highly comparable to ACityDiscount in product mix, customer base, and hybrid showroom/e-commerce model, making it the closest direct regional competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Boelter Companies: Large, established foodservice equipment distributor serving restaurants, hospitality, and institutional buyers across the U.S. Operates as a broader portfolio player offering both equipment and full design-build services, competing with ACityDiscount for institutional and multi-unit chain accounts.
• Global Equipment Company (Global Industrial): Multi-category industrial and commercial equipment distributor with public-market scale. While not specialized in foodservice, its commercial equipment catalog and business customer base overlap with ACityDiscount, particularly in refrigeration, material handling, and smallwares adjacent categories.

Others

• SilverChef: Equipment financing partner of ACityDiscount that also sells and rents commercial kitchen equipment directly. Comparable in that SilverChef's rent-try-buy offering addresses the same customer pain point (high upfront equipment costs) and serves overlapping foodservice operator customers, though primarily as a financing-enabled distributor rather than a traditional retailer.
