Convenience Store Wholesale: A Supplier That Backs the Small Shop

Convenience store wholesale is the heart of what we do: supplying independent c-stores, corner shops and forecourts with the everyday goods their customers come in for. We have been at it since 2009, from a 40,000 sq ft warehouse in Nelson, Lancashire, with 600+ SKUs, a £250+VAT minimum order and free UK delivery over £750+VAT on our own fleet. No cash-and-carry trips, no pallet-only minimums — stock arrives at your stockroom door.

The core range, category by category

A convenience store lives on repeat purchases. These are the categories we supply by the case:

• Household and cleaning — laundry, washing-up, surface care, bin liners and toilet care from names like Fairy, Ariel, Vanish and Cif, plus own-brand alternatives at sharper margins. Browse the household collection.
• Toiletries and health & beauty — the daily basics: oral care, shower, deodorant, hair care. See wholesale toiletries.
• Air care — one of our deepest categories, from Air Wick and Febreze to our exclusive Perfect Scents range: air fresheners.
• Food, drink and confectionery — impulse lines and store-cupboard sellers in the food & drink collection.
• Seasonal and gifting — candles, gift sets and wax melts to lift basket spend in Q4.

Price-marked packs

We stock PMP lines across household and air care — current examples include Persil capsules, Daz pods and Febreze sprays at marked prices. PMPs matter in convenience: the printed price reassures shoppers they are not paying a corner-shop premium, which protects your rate of sale even next to a supermarket. Where a PMP exists we show it in the product title, so you can build a price-marked core range straight from the site.

Start at £250, not a pallet

Most wholesalers make small shops commit big before they have proof a line sells. Our £250+VAT minimum order means a first order can be a genuine test: a spread of cases across four or five categories, reordering only what moves. The same trade desk looks after you at £250 as at a pallet — we back you at pallet one.

Know your numbers

Range decisions live or die on margin. If you are weighing up what to stock, our guide to FMCG profit margins for independent retailers works through category-level margin logic, and if you are still at the planning stage, the complete UK guide to starting a convenience store covers setup end to end — premises, fit-out, ranging and suppliers.

Why independents choose us

We are rated 4.9/5 on Trustpilot by trade customers. Delivery is on our own fleet rather than a courier network, so cases arrive as packed. And because we own ten exclusive brands — from Perfect Scents air care to Max Flush toilet care — you can range products your competitors cannot buy elsewhere, at own-brand margins.
