What is a Wholesaler?

A wholesaler is a person or company that acts as an intermediary in the supply chain and helps distribute commodities from source to end user.

For example, a grocery wholesaler purchases $2 million worth of packaged goods from 50 manufacturers, then resells them in bulk to 200 independent grocery stores across Western Canada — acting as the critical intermediary that consolidates purchasing for small retailers who can't buy directly from producers at minimum order quantities.
