Store Spotlight: Mission Restaurant Supply

Written by Miva | Nov 23, 2011

Thanksgiving is almost here, and so is the official start of the holiday season. During this time of the year, many people prepare seasonal treats in their homes, and many restaurants offer limited edition menus.  Our Store Spotlight this week, Mission Restaurant Supply is full-service restaurant equipment and supply company, offering sales, service, leasing, custom fabrication, home kitchen supplies, and more.

In 1988, Jack and Liza Lewis formed “Mission Ice Equipment,” a San-Antonio-based company specializing in leasing ice makers and refrigeration equipment.  Over the years, the company expanded its operations to include food service equipment, and in 2001, Mission Ice Equipment officially became Mission Restaurant Supply.

In 2003, Mission Restaurant Supply launched its online store, using Miva Merchant as its ecommerce platform.

“I was looking for a shopping cart system that could grow with us and Miva Merchant had all the features we were looking for,” says Mission Restaurant Supply Ecommerce Manager, David Limon. “There is so much value in those two reasons alone.”

Currently, Mission Restaurant Supply has approximately 10,000 products online, from electric mixers to full commercial kitchen ranges.

“The Miva Merchant platform encourages you to be creative,” says Limon. “The possibilities of what you can achieve using Miva Merchant are almost limitless. Miva Merchant has allowed us to go from a startup ecommerce website to a multi-million dollar generating machine with ease.”
