About Parts Town

Parts Town was built from the ground up in 1987 with a team of just 5 people. The goal – to reinvent the restaurant equipment parts industry. 35 years later, we’re one of the fastest growing parts distributors in the foodservice equipment industry and have 1000+ team members who support national and international customers.

How did we do it? We hired great people with great ideas. Where others saw the impossible, our Townspeople saw opportunity. We formed important partnerships with manufacturers and built an expansive inventory of OEM parts so we can ship faster and more efficiently. We kept technology front of mind, developing the industry’s first mobile app, where you can research and purchase parts with ease (no more headaches!). As our story continues to unfold, our culture will continue to be centered around our core values (Safety, Integrity, Community, Passion, Courage, and Innovation).

Parts Town has been named to the Inc. 5000 list 15 years in a row, the Crain’s Fast 50 list 10 times, and we’ve landed on Chicago Tribune’s Top Workplace list for the past 3 years. We aren’t satisfied yet - our sights are always set on bigger, outside-the-box opportunities that will shake up the norm. We’re just getting started. Join us!
