Wholesale FAQ
Where can I buy Italian ice in bulk in Richmond, VA?
Good Vices is a Richmond-based wholesale Italian ice supplier. We sell handcrafted Italian ice in bulk to restaurants, shops, breweries, schools, swim teams, and event venues across Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, Hanover, Goochland, Powhatan, and New Kent counties. Order online above or email [email protected].
What sizes are available for wholesale?
Three sizes: pints (16 oz, $5), half gallons (64 oz, $15), and 3-gallon bulk tubs ($60 core flavors / $70 non-core). A 3-gallon tub yields about 30 two-scoop servings.
Can I buy Italian ice by the gallon or in a 5-gallon bucket?
Our standard bulk size is a 3-gallon tub for $60 (core flavors) or $70 (non-core/archive flavors). For 5+ gallons, contact us — we can produce in custom container sizes for recurring accounts and high-volume buyers. Most customers find the 3-gallon tub easier to scoop, store, and rotate than a 5-gallon bucket.
Do you sell Italian ice cups wholesale?
Yes — wholesale customers can have us pre-portion pints and half gallons. If you need individual scoop-ready cups for an event or pop-up, that falls under our catering side; visit our catering page or contact us for a quote.
I'm buying bulk Italian ice for a party — do I need a wholesale account?
No. If you're hosting a birthday, graduation, corporate event, or any party, our drop-off catering cooler is the easier option: pre-scooped cups delivered in a cooler with spoons and napkins, from $125 with free delivery and pickup in the Richmond area. No business license or $200 minimum required — book online at goodvicesices.com/catering/drop-off/book.
Is your wholesale water ice the same thing as Italian ice?
Yes. Italian ice and water ice are the same product — Philadelphia and the Mid-Atlantic call it 'water ice,' while most of the US calls it 'Italian ice.' Our wholesale product is 100% dairy-free, made with real fruit, and works whichever name your menu uses.
What's the minimum order?
$200 minimum per wholesale order. This lets us manage small-batch production while keeping quality high.
How far in advance do I need to order?
At least 7 days lead time for all wholesale orders so we can handcraft everything fresh. Larger or custom-flavor orders may need 10–14 days.
What about allergens?
Our facility is allergen-free. All Italian ice is 100% vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free, and egg-free — safe for virtually any dietary restriction.
Can I get a custom flavor or white-label product?
Yes. For orders of $500+, we offer custom flavor formulation and white labeling. We'll develop a signature flavor unique to your business and produce it under your label with your packaging.
Do you offer recurring delivery?
Yes — weekly or monthly delivery schedules are available. Mention it in the notes section of your order and we'll set it up.
How does your wholesale pricing compare to Restaurant Depot or a national supplier?
Our per-tub price is higher because we use real fruit and handcraft in small batches — but the retail math works. A 3-gallon tub yields ~30 two-scoop servings; at $6 retail, that's $180 in revenue from a $60–$70 tub. That's a 3× return per container, and your menu gets a story your customers will actually tell their friends.
Can I try samples before committing?
Absolutely. Email [email protected] and we'll arrange a time for you to come by the shop for complimentary samples.
Do you deliver wholesale Italian ice outside Richmond?
We deliver throughout the Richmond metro at no extra charge. For accounts in Charlottesville, Fredericksburg, Williamsburg, and elsewhere in Virginia, we can quote delivery — reach out with your zip code and standing volume.
