What does Premium Choice Inc. do in Chicago and the Midwest? Premium Choice Inc. is a Chicago, Illinois-based importer and distributor of Asian and international grocery, beverage, and specialty food products. From its Chicago base, Premium Choice supplies wholesale buyers, retailers, and foodservice businesses nationally, with natural relevance to grocery and foodservice buyers throughout the Midwest region.
Chicago is widely recognized as one of the United States’ major hubs for food distribution, warehousing, and freight logistics, connecting rail, road, and air transportation across the country. A Chicago base gives Premium Choice a natural point of connection to grocery stores, wholesalers, and foodservice operators throughout Illinois and the broader Midwest, alongside its existing distribution relationships across the USA and Canada.
Premium Choice Inc. imports and distributes across nine product categories, available to wholesale, retail, and foodservice buyers nationwide, including throughout the Chicago and Midwest region:
Businesses in Chicago and across the Midwest can work with Premium Choice through any of its established buyer pathways. Wholesale buyers can request bulk pricing and availability. Retail stores and grocers can inquire about stocking Premium Choice’s product range. Foodservice businesses, including restaurants and food-service kitchens, can request products suited to commercial kitchen use. Every pathway leads to the same next step: submitting a Request a Quote.

Chicago’s position as a national freight and warehousing hub isn’t just a geographic fact — it directly affects how quickly product moves from our warehouse to a buyer’s shelf. Being close to major rail, road and air freight infrastructure gives Premium Choice more consistent routing options into the broader Midwest than a distributor based further from a logistics center would have, which is part of why we can offer dependable delivery scheduling to wholesale, retail and foodservice buyers in the region.
While Chicago and the Midwest are where we’re based, this region connects into the same distribution network that serves buyers across the rest of the United States and into Canada. A Midwest-based buyer and a buyer on the other side of the country order from the same product catalog and the same sourcing relationships — regional proximity to our Chicago base is an added logistics advantage, not a separate, smaller catalog.
