Our "Studio e Design Group" division boasts more food service designers than any other dealership in the Metro New York area.

What drew you to becoming a member of the Islanders Business Club?
Corporate dining facilities on Long Island are not as commonplace as New York City, Westchester or New Jersey. Hence, our business on Long Island is not as significant as we would like it to be.

It seems like an exciting and fun way to network and hopefully develop new business contacts on Long Island. It also allows us the opportunity to entertain new and existing clients, as well as rewarding our employees with tickets to see the Islanders.

New business and new friends.
