Eco-Grip® Flooring · Only at FSE

The kitchen floor you can come stand on.

Slip-resistant, anti-fatigue, accepted by health departments in lieu of quarry tile — and it goes down over the tile you already have. FSE is San Diego's local source — samples, cove and drain details and real fixture settings in our showroom, spec support for architects, and installer certification for contractors who want to carry it.

FSE — Food Service Equipment lockup, dark type on cream
Since 1987

The dealer San Diego kitchens grew up with

Food Service Equipment & Design opened its doors in 1987 with a simple idea: sell good equipment, stand behind it, and know it better than anyone else in the room.

Nearly four decades later, the mixer on our sign still means the same thing — machines that outlast trends, and a team that treats your kitchen like the business it is.

Built for every shift.
