Have you ever wondered where wholesale olives and other delicious wholesale delicacies, and the ordinary food products on the supermarket shelves come from? 

You might notice huge delivery trucks outside from time to time, but usually food deliveries are done discreetly, and also at times that are not ultimately busy for the shoppers. Most supermarkets, delis, restaurants and hotels, and airlines too, use a couple of different wholesale food suppliers, not putting all their eggs in one basket, so to speak and quite literary so to speak. The big refreshments come from refreshment suppliers, the ordinary food products like cereals, rice, sugar, pastas, jams, dairy, frozen foods, tinned foods, and more, come from a different large wholesale supplier and then the imported products may come from a third large wholesale supplier. Most supermarkets strike up good relationships with their wholesale food suppliers, getting regular deliveries, bulk products and bulk prices. And some wholesale food suppliers do the local and imported products too.

Can you buy directly from a food wholesaler?

Supermarkets get the best rates from wholesale food suppliers as they are buying in huge amounts. These supermarkets also get daily discounts, weekly specials or monthly specials, and they can pass all these good rates on to the customer. This is why people shop at supermarkets because they have a huge range of food products and the prices are good. You can buy directly from a wholesale food supplier and if you are also buying in bulk, perhaps you have a large family and like to keep things in the pantry, they are likely to give you good prices too, but they may not give the same prices they give to the supermarkets. 

Next time you buy something off the shelves, something like wholesale olives, think about how they got there.
