Fort Myers Restaurant Equipment & Supply

Restaurant Equipment and Supply for Fort Myers, Cape Coral and Bonita Springs

Fort Myers cooks with Gulf seafood and a long memory. The rush on Gulf pink shrimp began in 1949, when shrimp were found off Fort Myers Beach, and boats still unload on San Carlos Island. Downtown, The Veranda, a Fort Myers tradition since 1978, serves dinner in a house built in 1902 by the son of the city's founder.

Across the river, Cape Coral's South Cape has a family-run seafood grill. Fort Myers Brewing Co. hosts food trucks seven days a week, Bonita Springs fills the Old 41 Road strip with long-running restaurants, and Fort Myers Beach throws its Shrimp Festival every March.

Since 2015, The Restaurant Warehouse has shipped to thousands of commercial kitchens in every state. Lee County orders ship from our Orlando warehouse, so Fort Myers-area restaurants get the same low prices and freight delivery right to Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers Beach, and Pine Island. The most common orders here are reach-in refrigerators, freezers, ice machines, fryers, draft beer coolers, and food truck equipment.

Gulf Pink Shrimp and the Fort Myers Beach Fleet

According to Gulfshore Life, about 1,500 boats shrimped out of Fort Myers Beach at the 1950s and 1960s peak, about 500 in the 1980s, and about 40 in 2021. A 2024 regional shrimp industry plan says Fort Myers Beach "eventually became home to the largest commercial shrimping fleet in the Gulf of Mexico" and that more than 75% of the pink shrimp harvested in the US comes from Florida's west coast. Erickson & Jensen has worked from San Carlos Island since 1965. Owner Grant Erickson lost 3 of his 11 boats to Hurricane Ian and had 8 left as of September 2025, and the boats at his docks still supply Fort Myers Beach restaurants. Every March, the Fort Myers Beach Lions Club Shrimp Festival brings a parade down Estero Boulevard and local pink shrimp from Erickson & Jensen.

Seafood kitchens need ice machines for shrimp and fish on ice, two-door reach-in refrigerators and freezers for fresh catch, fryers for fried shrimp baskets, and ranges for boils and stock pots.

Fort Myers Brewing, Food Trucks and the River District

Rob and Jen Whyte opened Fort Myers Brewing Co. in March 2013, and it calls itself "Lee County's first and largest craft brewery." It grew from a 400 square foot taproom to a 22,000 square foot operation and about 15,000 barrels a year, and it celebrated its 13th anniversary in February 2026. The taproom hosts food trucks seven days a week and runs Food Truck Rallies. Downtown, The Veranda on Second Street is what Flamingo magazine calls "a Fort Myers tradition since 1978."

Taprooms need draft beer coolers, back-bar coolers and glass merchandisers, while the trucks parked outside run on food truck equipment: griddles, fryers and undercounter refrigeration sized for a tight build.

Cape Coral's South Cape and Bonita Springs' Old 41 Road

In South Cape, Fish Tale Grill opened in 2013, owned by Kerry and Patrick Krieg, next to Merrick Seafood, a wholesale and retail fish market that a 2023 Cape Coral Breeze profile said had been family owned since 1991. In Bonita Springs, a 2024 News-Press and Naples Daily News feature called the 4.4-mile Old 41 Road stretch "Southwest Florida's hottest dining destination." Buffalo Chips has served wings at 26620 Old 41 Road since 1982, and Old 41 Restaurant serves Philadelphia classics like cheesesteaks and creamed chipped beef. In July 2024, MangoMania in Bokeelia on Pine Island showcased local mango and tropical fruit growers.

Fish markets and grills need countertop display cases, ice machines and freezers, wing joints run on fryers, and diners need griddles, chef bases and sandwich prep tables for a fast breakfast line.
