Editor's Review
Economy Wholesale Grocers, a family-owned business since 1958, scores a solid 4.1/5 from 29 reviews. Customers rave about its bulk shopping selection and competitive prices. As Luis Peña Jr. noted, "Visit Economy Cash and Carry for all your bulk shopping needs." This place is a haven for those looking to stock up on everything from candy to cleaning supplies.
However, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Some reviewers, like Omar, lament that popular items are often out of stock, particularly the Styrofoam cups. This inconsistency can be frustrating, especially if you make a special trip for a specific item. Barry Peele, a truck driver, raised another complaint about the unloading process, stating, "As a truck driver, it's aggravating. No room for error and they take their time unloading you." So, while the store does have its strengths, there are areas that could use improvement.
