Our Story

SAM Marketplace, formerly Lines Equipment, was founded in 1988 with a service truck and $1,500. The company specialized in preventative maintenance and repair of restaurant and bakery equipment. As the business grew it saw a demand to supply local restaurants and bakeries with equipment so he began supplying the small demand there was. The reputation for customer service that SAM Marketplace was known for in the local market spread and grew the company into one that also provided grocery store and restaurant packages. What made the company grow was customer service, so when you call SAM Marketplace, you will always get a real person to answer the phone. We care about getting you what you need at a fair price.
