Retail Grocery Store Owners: If you would
like to expand your business, we would like to recommend you
offering a distribution service to regional retailers like yourself.
The staff at Mr. Checkout can come to your city and assist you
in buying in bulk and finding retail store locations for you
to service. Every store within a 30 minute drive could be buying
from you wholesale. Call Bob at 561-367-0076 or Dirk 209-574-0440
and we will go over how your store can become a distribution
cash and carry.
Cash and carry is a form of trade in which goods are sold from
a wholesale warehouse operated either on a self-service basis,
or on the basis of samples (with the customer selecting from
specimen articles using a manual or computerized ordering system
but not serving himself) or a combination of the two. Customers
(retailers, professional users, caterers, institutional buyers,
etc.) settle the invoice on the spot and in cash, and carry
the goods away themselves.
FYI: According to Chain Store Guide data,
the largest grocery distribution networks in the United States
fall into two categories:
Self-distributing retailers - Major retail
chains that distribute to their own stores. Chain Store Guide
data indicates that the Top 10 self-distributing retail chains,
led by Wal-Mart, own and supply over 60% of the retail supermarkets
in the US and Canada. The vertical integration of these operations
creates efficiencies in the supply chain, resulting in lower
retail costs.
Wholesale distributors - Companies that provide
distributior between the manufacturer and smaller retail chains
and independents. To enable their retail customers to compete
effectively with self-distributing chains, the top wholesale
companies are building larger distribution networks to gain
the economies of scale realized by the top retail chains.
