OUR HISTORY

VG Supply Company was founded in 1917 in Morton Grove, Illinois, originally as Vegetable Growers Supply Company. 
From the very beginning, our goal has been to achieve customer satisfaction through quality service and dedication. Over the years, we have experienced tremendous growth and change, from implementing and utilizing in-house, custom-built technologies to recognizing the need for retail merchandising services. We continue to be industry leaders and innovators. In addition, our experience has enabled us to build strong relationships not only with our customers but with our vendors as well. This allows us to offer the lowest prices while still providing the additional service and support necessary to make your business successful.

 

OUR OFFERINGS

We offer all retailers the ability to buy both large and small orders nationally, year-round. Here's how we do it: Our modern, fully functional 180,000-square-foot, centrally located warehouse facility enables us to maintain an extensive inventory and selection of all key items, and the ability to process and deliver most orders within 72 hours. Through our truckload purchasing power, we are able to take advantage of volume discounts from the national leading manufacturers and then pass those savings directly onto you at low year-round prices.

TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS

Through years of technological advancements, we have developed and fine-tuned a completely scan-based warehouse management system. This enables us to operate at the lowest possible cost while maximizing both our efficiency and accuracy, and again, passing the savings on to you. We are able to process and ship hundreds of orders every day across the country. Every case is scanned from the moment it enters our doors until it arrives at yours. Our picking labels, which are applied to every case in your order, contain all of your critical order information, which is another accuracy checkpoint that also makes it easier for you to receive the product when it arrives.

LOGISTICS AND DELIVERY

All of our order pallets are securely shrink-wrapped and then labeled with a UCC 128 barcode, which acts as a license plate for your order. This license plate will provide all the necessary information pertaining to your order as it begins its transit to your door. All pallets are then scanned and manifested into a specific trailer and dock location prior to loading. Our loaders then scan the corresponding trailer dock location barcode for final verification. This ensures that your order is matched with the appropriate truck heading out that day and getting to you as quickly as possible. At this point, an advance ship notice is auto-emailed to you, detailing your shipment and tracking information.

COST EFFICIENCY AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT

In addition, because of our volume, we are able to leverage and utilize our lowest cost freight rates throughout the country with all the major LTL carriers, which we again pass these savings on to you via our prepaid Freight program. To ensure your total satisfaction with us, we have a dedicated and experienced customer support and sales staff available to answer all of your questions, such as co-op management, product damages, defectives, order changes, invoice inquiries, returns, general product questions, or anything else you may need. We're just a phone call or click away. And with our low year-round prices, you don't have to worry about not getting the best costs in or out of season. You can rest assured that you're always getting the best price with VG Supply. We hope you have both an enjoyable and profitable experience with us.
