How Atlas Helps Local Restaurants Save with Trade-Ins
Out With the Old. In With the Upgrade.
At some point, every restaurant owner faces the same question: what should I do with my old kitchen equipment? Maybe you’re expanding, replacing aging gear, or simply making room for something more efficient. Whatever the reason, upgrading doesn’t have to mean starting from scratch — especially if you can turn your used equipment into credit.
That’s exactly what Atlas Restaurant Equipment helps local businesses do through our restaurant equipment trade-in program. If you’re located within 35 miles of Woburn, we make it easy to trade in used kitchen gear, apply the value toward newer equipment, and get everything delivered fast — with no pressure and expert guidance every step of the way.
How the Trade-In Process Works
The process starts with a simple step: get in touch with us. You can call or message us with details about the equipment you want to trade in. Sharing clear photos, the condition, brand, and model number helps us give you an accurate estimate faster. Our team has years of experience evaluating resale value and will review the item’s condition, age, brand reputation, and demand in the local market.
Once we’ve reviewed the information, we’ll offer a fair and transparent trade-in value. If the equipment is in good working order (or can be reasonably refurbished), we’ll credit that amount toward your next purchase — whether it’s a new or used fryer, range, prep table, or another piece of commercial gear. We’ll even come pick up the old item and help you arrange delivery for your replacement.
Many of our customers are able to complete this process in just a few days — from trade-in to installation — thanks to our in-stock inventory and fast local delivery service.
What Kind of Equipment Can Be Traded In?
We accept a wide variety of commercial kitchen equipment, provided it’s in working or restorable condition. That includes:
- Fryers, ranges, and ovens
- Reach-in refrigerators and freezers
- Griddles, charbroilers, and steam tables
- Prep tables, mixers, sinks, and more
Keep in mind, final trade-in value is always based on inspection. If you’re unsure whether a piece qualifies, just send us a photo — we’ll take it from there.
Real Stories from Local Operators
Maria, a café owner in Somerville, was able to trade in two aging sandwich prep tables and upgrade to a newer unit with drawer storage — all within three days. “Atlas even handled the delivery and pickup,” she said. “It couldn’t have been easier.”
Nick, who runs a pizzeria in Medford, came to us when his oven was on its last legs. “We traded it in and got credit toward a refurbished Southbend model. Saved money and got back to baking fast.”
Stories like these are common — and we’re proud to help local kitchens save time, money, and effort when making a change.
