When your restaurant needs a reliable purchasing group company that delivers measurable savings and strong supplier relationships, the Greek American Restaurant Cooperative (GARC) is here to help. Since 2009, we’ve been empowering independent restaurant owners across Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin to leverage their collective buying power and secure lower prices on essential products. Our goal is simple: to make purchasing more affordable, more efficient, and less stressful for your business.
At GARC, we understand that every dollar counts in the restaurant industry. That’s why our purchasing group company negotiates directly with trusted manufacturers, distributors, and vendors to ensure you get the most competitive pricing on everything you buy. We’ve built strong partnerships with over 300 suppliers and offer access to more than 100,000 products, helping you streamline operations, cut costs, and improve your margins.
Our cooperative model means you’re never on your own. By joining GARC, you become part of a powerful network of more than 1,900 restaurant members throughout the Midwest who share the same commitment to quality, savings, and success.
Becoming a GARC member means unlocking benefits that go far beyond discounts. Our members typically see rebates that are four to ten times the cost of their annual membership fee, making the program a true investment in your bottom line. We work hard to ensure your savings match or exceed what national chains receive, and if you’re not seeing the results you expect, you can cancel anytime, no obligations, no pressure.
Our process is simple and stress-free. Just order from our contracted distributors, and we handle the rest. We’re proud to be a member-owned cooperative that only succeeds when you do.
With an average savings of 10 percent across thousands of items, GARC has built a reputation as the Midwest’s most trusted purchasing group company. Whether you operate a casual café, midscale eatery, or fine dining restaurant, our team works to help you maximize your profit potential through smarter purchasing strategies.
