heirloomoriginals Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I had laid my newspaper out to make soap and saw they were opening one nearby (well, about 1 1/2 hours away). They have everything for restaurants, but since candle and soap makers use lots of stuff that we use in cooking, I thought it might be neat to check out. www.gfsmarketplace.comIf anyone has been to one or heard of it, can you please share?Thanks,Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Monkey Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Yep, have one up the road from me. THey have a good selection of oils. You're gonna love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirloomoriginals Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 I will have to check it out, probably won't get down there until after Christmas though! Do they have sunflower oil? That is really the only oil I have to order (get it from WSP). It has to be high oleic.Thanks, Funky!Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Monkey Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Hmm.. I don't know about sunflower, don't think I've ever used that one. Going to stop by this weekend. I'll let ya know what I find (PS, you'll probably have to remind me! LOL - really bad short term memory! I swear it's the soap fumes!)

Sandisoys Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Did you get a chance to check it out??? Do they carry wax??? Because I have one near me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Monkey Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Going this weekend Sandy, but I already know the do not carry wax. Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accents Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Not every store carries the same product. Each one carries the 3500 most popular items for their area. Your store may not have the same items mine or Funky Monkey's has. I would have to guess that most items are the same, though. My husband works for GFS. They do have access to Cargill waxes through special order, but you have to order nearly a ton and I think need a restaurant account through them. It's not really worth it. If you have any questions about GFS, I'd be happy to ask DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julwid Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I have one of those stores about 20 miles from me. Why did I not think to check them out for some supplies. Time to make a trip to GFS. Thanks so much for them thread to open my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accents Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Just avoid the desserts! Those things are too delicious! They have thank-you T bags, too. Not sure the price, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallbabydoll Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Just avoid the desserts! Those things are too delicious! They have thank-you T bags, too. Not sure the price, though.At our local store it's $16.99 for 500. Not sure if thats a good or bad price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
