Our History
Carriff Hardwoods‘s history started several years ago when Allen Bell needed large quantities of soda for his son’s school festivities, something that turned out to be harder
than he had thought. In all of Whiteford it was impossible to get the required amount of cases of soda. So Allen had to traipse from one store to the next until he finally had enough soda for
all the school children. Visibly annoyed, Allen announced to his wife on the evening after the school event: “I can do better than that!“
No sooner said than done, Allen founded his own wholesale business for beverages and, unbeknownst to him, had tapped into a huge market gap. Until then, cafes, bars, and restaurants in
Whiteford had always had to order from distributors in other cities that charged high delivery fees for the long trip. Shortly after Allen opened his doors, he had gained a large customer
following.
Even years later, the local food service businesses are still among Carriff Hardwoods‘s regular customers and many more have joined them – from bars and restaurants to shops and hotels:
Carriff Hardwoods currently supplies a wide variety of customers. Allen and his company are considered a specialist for all kinds of beverages and a competent partner when it comes to taking
care of thirsty guests.
