Plan Ahead for a Successful Summer Season with Linford of Alaska

Summer in Alaska isn’t just a beautiful time of year, it’s the heart of the busy season for restaurants, coffee shops, markets, and local businesses across the state. With cruise ships arriving, visitors flying up to explore, and Alaskans making the most of the warmer months, demand increases sharply. At Linford of Alaska, we know how important it is for you to be fully stocked, fully prepared, and ready to take advantage of every opportunity.

That’s why we’re encouraging our customers to plan ahead for the summer rush.

As the season picks up, product availability can tighten, and lead times can stretch. By communicating your needs to us early, whether that’s additional inventory, new product requests, or stocking up on customer favorites, we can better support your business. Together, we can ensure you have what you need, when you need it, with as little disruption as possible.

Being in Alaska adds a few extra challenges to the supply chain.
We work closely with our purchasing team to coordinate shipments, which can take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks to arrive. Planning ahead isn’t just helpful, it’s essential. With a little extra notice, we can bring in exactly what you need and help avoid shortages during the busiest time of the year.

We’ll also be proactively checking in with our customers over the next few months. We want to hear from you:

• Are you expecting higher volume this summer?
• Are you planning menu changes or adding seasonal offerings?
• Are there specific products you anticipate needing more of?

By working together now, we can set you up for a strong, successful summer season. At Linford of Alaska, we’re proud to supply a wide range of wholesale essentials.
