Discount Food Brokers for Surplus Food Management and Distribution

SJ Food Brokers is a family-owned food brokerage firm specializing in discount food distribution and surplus food management. As experienced closeout food brokers, we help food manufacturers, distributors, and retailers move surplus food quickly and efficiently while connecting buyers with high-quality grocery items, specialty foods, and wholesale food products at unmatched value.

When searching for closeout food brokers near me, buyers and suppliers need a partner who understands the food supply chain, food waste reduction, and the dynamics of liquidation inventory. At SJ Food Brokers, our expertise in surplus inventory, food redistribution, and food waste prevention ensures that surplus food products are given a second life — reaching discount grocery outlets, community food pantries, and the broader foodservice industry.

Driving Demand Through Discount Food Distribution

As discount food distributors, SJ Food Brokers connects the right buyers with the right opportunities. Our services extend beyond simple transactions; we provide structured solutions for the food industry that reduce wasted food, strengthen food security, and support food recovery programs.

We work with:

  • Food manufacturers and co-packers with closeout goods, discontinued food, or food surpluses.

  • Wholesalers and food distributors are managing inventory levels and seeking reliable food liquidators.

  • Discount grocery stores and salvage food outlets need affordable bulk foods and wholesale grocery items.

  • Correctional facilities, soup kitchens, and community food pantries that rely on food redistribution to serve those in need.

Our unique value is combining surplus food management with customer service and sustainability assessments, ensuring that food products move through the food supply chain without unnecessary food loss.

SJ Food Brokers specializes in turning stagnant inventory into revenue while reducing food waste and supporting food waste management initiatives. Our services include:

  • Closeout Food Buying: Purchasing short-dated, off-spec, or discontinued grocery items directly from food manufacturers and distributors.

  • Food Liquidation Process: Handling liquidation inventory with efficiency and compliance, ensuring food safety management systems and food safety regulations are followed.

  • Wholesale Food Distribution: Supplying foodservice industry buyers, discount grocery chains, and wholesale grocery outlets with bulk foods and refrigerated foods.

  • Inventory Management Support: Helping food manufacturers and distributors free up storage space by redistributing food surpluses to active buyers.

  • Food Redistribution & Recovery: Connecting surplus food with community food pantries, soup kitchens, and food rescue programs, reinforcing food security and reducing food insecurity.

By managing the liquidation process and surplus food management with precision, we keep the supply chain moving, reduce wasted food, and create opportunities for affordable grocery shopping across discount grocery channels.

Choosing SJ Food Brokers means working with a partner that understands market dynamics and the challenges of the food industry. As closeout food buyers and discount food brokers, we simplify surplus food management for suppliers and provide cost savings for buyers.

  • Food Rescue and Recovery programs deliver surplus inventory to soup kitchens and food pantries.

  • Sustainability Assessments that help suppliers evaluate inventory management and reduce future food waste.
