Where do products come from?
Town Talk partners with numerous suppliers from several levels of the food industry and purchases from manufacturers, distribution centers, warehouse intermediaries, transportation companies, brokerage firms and independent distributors.
What are repackaged items?
Town Talk Foods’ is a certified repackager which means it can purchase, repackage and re-label products according to government regulations. Most of the food comes from well-established restaurants, brands, major food distributors and the oversupply from food distributors. Buying “repackaged” verses “packaged food” provides customers exponential savings that can’t be found anywhere else. The term “repackaged food” means while inventory changes daily, a product is purchased in bulk and then repackaged into smaller retail packages.
