“Send me a pot of cheese, so that I may be able to indulge myself whenever I wish.”

- Epicurus

Epicurus (341–270 B.C.) founded one of the major philosophies of ancient Greece, helping to lay the intellectual foundations for modern science and secular individualism. Many aspects of his ideology are still highly relevant some twenty-three centuries after being first taught in his school in Athens, called “the Garden.” For Epicurus, a philosophy aimed to attain a happy, tranquil life characterized by ataraxia, peace, and freedom from fear, and aponia, the absence of pain, and living a self-sufficient life surrounded by friends.

Centuries later, Epicurus Gourmet began in North Hollywood, California, founded by people who are passionate about great food and want to share that passion with you. Epicurus Gourmet brings the warehouse shopping experience to Los Angeles so everyone can eat and drink deliciously!
