For the new one in Whitehaven. All the meat I purchased was spoiled! If all you need is soda it's fine! But the candy was stale and so were all the chips and cookies! Will never buy anything again!

Restaurant supply store open to the public. Big, restaurant-sized portions of all kinds of frozen stuff, and some fresh meats. Also lots of food service paraphernalia, supplies, etc. Everything from chafing dishes to knives to pots to aprons and chef jacket/coat things.

If you need anything in large bundle, feeding a large family or having an event with food this is the store. I saved money too. No membership is required.

Everything you need for a restaurant, a big party or just a big family. From bulk food and condiments to serving utensils and plastic food and drink containers, even big plastic trash cans. If you need 10lbs of catfish or catsup, Lit always has it. Very organized and easy to find what you need

Lit Junior does pretty well but there's nothing like the main one on Union. I went the day after Thanksgiving and you were really low on stock but I understand that. The area that it's located in is a little bit rough but some places you don't need to go by yourself take a buddy. Inside the store is fine. Good prices good products

This is the Midtown Memphis Costco. While primarily for small institutional kitchen situations, I end up shopping here pretty often for a menagerie of things. Friendly staff, usually parking is available right in front. … More

If you've never been there you really should go,it's amazing how many items they offer. Frozen foods, anything you need for your kitchen,for cooking and serving food,food storage containers, cleaning supplies and I can't list it all. I was at the Lit on summer and everyone that works there were very helpful and extremely polite.

I was very reluctant to shop at this store, Lit Jr on Summer. I was use to shopping and finding everything I need at the Lit on Union. I needed supplies/packaging for cakes, cookies and muffins, etc. I found almost everything that I needed. … More

A great place to obtain bulk food items and bulk supplies related to food service. There was plenty of room for parking in a fenced in lot and the building was somewhat older but the inventory was ample, and that is the part that mattered. … More

I've always enjoyed shopping at LIT. Although it's further out than the one on Union, I will continue to go to this site. The employees are friendly and very helpful. Quality of food is great and the prices are comparable to other places.

Always had a good experience there. Staff is always polite and helpful. Always. But whoever makes most of their pricing signs has a very poor understanding of how a decimal works. There's a difference between 99 cents and .99 cents. A rather big one. And the misuse of the decimal on their pricing signs is rather random, so it's hard to pin down if the mistakes come from one person or not.

Went for a specific item which they did not have. But 2 different employers helped me scoure the store in an effort to find a good replacement. Bought several other items and everyone was happy and helpful. Good shopping experience for sure!

Lit Jr. on Summer Ave. is always so pleasant to visit. Rarely is there any waiting to check out & a surprising number of helpful employees are always stocking the shelves and coolers. Primarily a restaurant supply store, they carry items that you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else.

I was very impressed with Nick Jr soon as I got out of my car I walked in the door the young man was spraying the baskets down with lifestyle he said he didn't want anybody to get sick so I was very very happy about that because a lot of stores now have stopped wiping their baskets down and the employees and side was very helpful whatever I needed they told me exactly where I could find it and if it was not on the shelf they went to the back to see if they had it in stock
Joseph Guthrie

Good products but several of our purchased items were more expensive at the checkout then what was priced at the items shelf location. Went back into to see why and three of the items were marked wrong and two of the items were actaully not the correct price. Staff did not show any concern that the products were placed or marked incorrectly.

Not quite as cool as the original LIT on Union Ave, but has huge offering of restaurant and kitchen supplies as well as a good selection of frozen food products. This is a retail place and everyone is welcome.
