About EME Restaurant Equipment New and Used
EME Restaurant Equipment traces its roots to 1933, when Henry Eidenberg founded General Store Fixtures on West Madison Street in Chicago. The business relocated to Palatine, Illinois, and remains family‑owned, now in its third generation under the leadership of Ed, Henry’s grandson. The company supplies new and used restaurant equipment and backs sales with a full suite of design and consulting services. Using AutoCAD, the team produces floor layouts, plumbing and electrical rough‑in drawings, ventilation specifications, elevation drawings, and 3D renderings. They offer on‑site consultations within 24 hours, handle delivery, and assist with installation. Brands carried include John Boos, and the inventory spans compartment sinks, convenience‑store fixtures, and other commercial‑kitchen essentials. Since its founding, EME has served more than 1,000 customers and equipped over 1,000 restaurants, bars, and hotels. Primary customers are independent restaurants, bars, hotels, and broader foodservice operators, including convenience‑store kitchens. First‑time owners and operators expanding or renovating existing spaces make up a large portion of the client base. The firm was built on the premise that equipment buying should not be a self‑service gamble. Ed positions himself as a dedicated expert who guides each project from concept to launch, contrasting the personalized, hands‑on approach with competitors who offer only automated catalogs and limited support.
