Author Topic: Candy & Supplies Josh Mitoska Film Handler Posts: 59 From: Brooklyn, MI, USA Registered: Dec 2001 posted 01-29-2002 12:35 AM                     I'm in Michigan and I order my candy, popcorn, & supplies from Clark Food Service. What do you think is the best, or least expensive company to order from that still has good quality. Also my number one selling candie is Cookie dough bites, what is yours?  |  IP: Logged Zach Zagar Film Handler Posts: 45 From: Jefferson City, MO Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-29-2002 01:51 AM                        My theater uses Concession Services out of Chicago. Our #1 seller has to be SourPatch Kids.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-29-2002 11:28 AM                        We use Theatre Candy, from Salt Lake City. Excellent service. #1 seller is probably Sour Patch Kids, Jr. Mints or some form of Reeses, depending on the audience.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-29-2002 02:25 PM                     We are using Sysco for now.

That is Victor Products. They have been in the business for more than 80 years & give us next day delivery. They also ship anywhere.  |  IP: Logged Adam Fraser Master Film Handler Posts: 499 From: Houghton Lake, MI, USA Registered: Dec 2001 posted 01-31-2002 11:36 PM                        We use S.A.S. aka Heartland distributers, they only deliver one day a week, dont tell us when something is backordered, and sometimes they just dont deliver at all. They do have a monopoly with the small candy vendor business since we dont have the buying power to buy from the larger distributers ($2000+ minimum orders) so i guess we are stuck with them. But I never even thought about Clark, or Sysco... maybe I will give them a call regarding candy... BTW our best sellers are 5oz. Sour Patch Kids, Sno Caps, and Theatre Pack Raisinets. ------------------ Adam Fraser www.pinestheatre.com  |  IP: Logged Josh Mitoska Film Handler Posts: 59 From: Brooklyn, MI, USA Registered: Dec 2001 posted 02-01-2002 12:43 AM                     Hey Adam, I recognize that theatre from the Documentary that KEvin Corbett made last year about small thatres in Michigan, he put both of my theatres in it as well. I did't realize it was in Houghton , Lake. I'll have to stop in, I usually come up there quite a bit to go snow-mobiling. Here is Clark Foods # 1-800-553-4239 Ask for Marty, he is the Theatre sales manager. They have great service, This year they accidently didn't ship my 4th of July weekend order, and MArty the sales manager put my order in his van and personally drove it to my theatre in Michigan, and they are in Kentucky!! That is really looking out for your customer.  |  IP: Logged Adam Fraser Master Film Handler Posts: 499 From: Houghton Lake, MI, USA Registered: Dec 2001 posted 02-01-2002 06:56 PM                        Thanks a lot Josh, yeah we were here when the documentary was shot bus sadly we never got a copy, would you happen to have one????
