Why Buy From Dean
One counter. One supplier.
Deep stock, case pricing, and a person who knows the line — the same way Cleveland operators have bought since 1950.
Stocked Deep, Ready to Ship
The counter's fast movers — containers, cups, lids — held in real depth and sold by the case, so the reorder is in stock and moving, not backordered.
Shop containers →The Whole Counter, One Account
Packaging, cups, prep equipment and the sustainable line under one roof — so you're not chasing five vendors to open a grab-and-go case.
See the range →A Person Who Knows the Line
Call and someone who knows the catalogue picks up — to match a lid, size a case count, or spec a counter. Not a call centre reading a screen.
216-325-0994 →The Sustainable Line · World Centric
Send the whole order out compostable.
The sandwich box, the parfait cup, the coffee cup, the fork that goes in the bag — every piece of a grab-and-go order has a World Centric equivalent that breaks down in a commercial composter. When a city, campus, airport or landlord writes compostable into the lease, this is the line that meets it — certified, labeled, and in stock.
The Container
Bagasse boxes, hinged clamshells and fiber bowls for the sandwich, salad, cut-fruit cup and hot entrée — sturdy enough to carry out and stack in the case.
The Cup
Clear PLA cold cups for iced coffee, cold brew and layered parfaits, and compostable-lined hot cups for the morning coffee rush.
The Rest of the Bag
CPLA cutlery, portion cups, lids and compostable carry-out bags — so the order is compostable end to end, not just the box.
Getting It To You
On our trucks, or on the next one out.
Our own trucks run Cleveland and Northeast Ohio, Monday through Friday, on a $150 minimum. Everywhere else, we ship nationwide.

I ran out of Cups & Lids and ordered more of both. I received them in 6–8 days and now my coffee stays hot longer.
Pat Rogers · Google reviewIf you need anything dealing with restaurant items, to-go containers, forks — that is your place.
Vanessa Reaves · Google reviewGreat store to stock up on your to-gos and such. If something is out of stock, ask — they might be able to order it pretty fast for you.
Nancy Hernandez · Google reviewWe found exactly what we needed, which happened to be 80 coffee cups.
Mike McCraith · Google reviewDean's is the best, most affordable store for my catering supplies. Always fully stocked on whatever I am looking for.

Good to Know
Questions from the counter.
Do I have to be a business to order?
No. We sell by the each and by the case, and we're open to the public — but if you're running a business, a trade account unlocks case pricing and lets you file tax-exempt once so it applies at checkout.
How fast do the disposables ship?
The high-turnover items — containers, cups, lids — are stocked deep and typically leave the warehouse the day you order. Local Cleveland orders can go on our own trucks; everywhere else ships nationwide by parcel or freight.
Can you match a lid to a cup or container I already use?
Yes — call us with the size or the item you're running and someone who knows the catalogue will pair it. Matching lids to cups and containers is most of what this counter runs on.
Do you carry certified compostable packaging?
We do — the World Centric line covers plant-fiber containers, PLA-lined cups and CPLA cutlery built for compost claims that hold up. If your city or campus requires it, this is the shelf.
Can you help me open a whole grab-and-go counter?
That's the idea. Packaging, cups, prep equipment and the sustainable line are all under one account, so you can spec the whole counter in one call. Reach us at 216-325-0994.
Ready When the Line Is
Stock the counter. Keep it moving.
Containers, cups and the gear behind them — priced by the case and kept in stock. Open a trade account or call and we'll build the order with you.

We serve airport concessions, office-tower lobbies, hospital and campus cafes, fitness centers, convenience and gas-station foodservice, coffee bars, delis, and fast-casual operators — anywhere a guest grabs a sandwich, salad, parfait, cut-fruit cup or bakery item and a coffee on the way out.

Countertop equipment from Vollrath and Waring covers the panini presses, blenders and warmers that build the menu behind the glass.
