| Background & History
of Fun Food Depot, Inc. |
 In
1974, a war broke out between the Greek and Turkish communities
on the Island of Cyprus in the Eastern Mediterranean. This war
caused many people and families to lose all they had, over 300,000
people were displaced, and many died.
A young couple, which had been successful in business on the Island
of Cyprus, were allowed to enter the US and eventually, though
many hardships, became US citizens. This is the couple which still
owns and operates our business, Fun Food Depot, Inc, (formerly
known as R & F International Corp)
Established in 1983 by Reuven and Fanny Slonim, the business grew
from a bedroom closet, to the garage and then into a warehouse
space.
The owners would repair and refurbish used ice cream and slush
machines at night, in the garage, then go out during the day and
sell these machines to restaurants and other food oriented establishments.
Machines were also loaned free to locations which would purchase
mixes and product used by these machines. This system was very
attractive to many customers and the company flourished.
In 1986 the Company outgrew its warehouse space and moved to its
present location. It has become established as one of the premier
suppliers and distributors of the equipment and products it handles
and is probably known as the largest supplier of FREE loaner machines
in Florida. There is a sales staff, repair personnel and office
staff to assist you with all your needs.

With the introduction of better communications
and increased international trade, the company has expanded its
export business to all regions of the world, but more specifically
and dramatically, exports have shot up in the Central and South
American Regions and to the Caribbean Islands.
R & F International changed its name in late 1999 and is now
called Fun Food Depot, Inc to better reflect the wider range of
goods and services which we provide. The company is committed
to serve its domestic and world-wide customers on a continuing
basis, striving for excellence in its equipment, products and
services, as is evidenced by many loyal customers who have been
doing repeat business with us for the past 20 years. Some of them
ordering equipment and products sight unseen.
This positive experience has led us to venture into the E-Commerce
market and we are sure that your experience of shopping on line
with us will be a positive and profitable one for you.
This site is a project of Fun Food Depot, Inc, a worldwide leader
in the distribution of ice cream and concession equipment. With
this site we strive to provide you with ONE LOCATION for all the
items you are looking for in the hugely profitable concession,
amusement, catering and ice cream business — either fixed

This site is all about new and pre-owned catering equipment. Inside
we have something to show you about commercial catering equipment
and fun food equipment from batch freezers to ice-cream carts
and vans.
