Epicurus Gourmet

What Epicurus Gourmet does

Epicurus Gourmet is a privately held specialty food warehouse and wholesaler headquartered in North Hollywood, California, operating from a single physical location at 12140 Sherman Way. Founded in 2016, the company stocks over 2,500 curated items sourced from Europe and other global regions, spanning categories such as cheese, charcuterie, imported butters (including Bordier, Echire, and Rodolphe Le Meunier), tinned and frozen seafood, caviar, wagyu beef, truffle products, olive oils, Boulart breads, and frozen French pastries (croissants, baguettes, canelés, pain au chocolat). The business sells exclusively in-person at the warehouse with no e-commerce, shipping, or delivery capabilities, and offers value-added services including cut-to-order cheese, meat, and pâté, split-case ordering, and special-order sourcing.

The company operates a hybrid retail-wholesale model with two distinct customer segments. The primary wholesale segment serves food professionals — chefs, caterers, restaurants, retail stores, wine bars, and food trucks — with wholesale pricing, a $10 minimum, volume discounts, and split-case flexibility. The secondary retail segment serves home cooks and food enthusiasts purchasing premium specialty ingredients without membership requirements. Pricing is transaction-based, paid at the point of sale via cash, credit cards, Apple Pay, or Android Pay. The warehouse is open Tuesday through Sunday with limited daily hours and is closed Mondays.

Ownership rests with Eric and Hillary as majority partners who have returned to run day-to-day operations after a prior absence. The company has no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, partnerships, or technology stack; core operations are run with 1–10 employees. Distribution is limited to a single warehouse, and the company is constrained by California state law from selling foie gras.
