Where convenience stores buy their products

Most of a c-store’s shelf comes from a full-line distributor - McLane, Core-Mark or a regional wholesaler - on a weekly route, plus cash-and-carry runs for fill-ins. Those suppliers carry the everyday core at list cost.

A closeout supplier fills the rest of your convenience store supplies: name-brand health & beauty aids, personal care, candy, seasonal and impulse items bought below normal wholesale because they are overstocks, packaging changes or discontinued lines. That is what we sell - authentic stock from name-brand supply chains, never counterfeit or gray-market goods.

What’s in stock for a c-store shelf

Health & household, beauty & personal care, grocery and candy, and toys - the categories that sell at the register. New lots land every week, and the live catalog shows every one with its unit price, minimum and the quantity on hand.

How minimums work

Minimums are set per deal. Some items have their own minimum order quantity; others can be mixed by the case pack to reach an order minimum. Every listing shows its minimum and what that minimum costs, so you know the size of an order before you reach out.

Will it work at your shelf price?

Check landed cost - what an item costs you on the shelf after freight. An example with round numbers: a case of 24 at $0.95 each, plus freight that works out to $0.15 a unit, lands at $1.10. Priced at $2.99, that leaves $1.89 a unit, a 63% margin.

The unit price and the ship-from location are on every listing, and shipping runs at your own carrier’s rates, so you can run the same math on any item before you buy.

Dated goods

Expiration dates on dated goods are disclosed per lot - ask about any lot and we’ll tell you what we see before you commit. We don’t sell expired goods.

How ordering works

  1. Browse the live catalog - every item shows its unit price, minimum and stock. No account needed.
  2. Request an invoice on the items you want, or email sales@nat-procurement.com or call (617) 780-2033.
  3. Send your resale certificate with your first order. We confirm the minimums and where the order ships from; you send the shipping labels from your carrier account.
  4. Pay by wire or ACH (or card through Melio). Your order ships.

Selling in a physical store means no online-marketplace approvals apply to you - if the price and the product work for your store, you can stock it.

Common questions

Where do convenience stores buy their products?

Mostly from a full-line distributor on a weekly route and from cash-and-carry wholesalers. Closeout suppliers like us sit alongside them for name-brand health & beauty, candy and general merchandise bought below normal wholesale.

Do I need to sell online or on Amazon to buy from NPP?

No. Plenty of our inventory goes to physical stores. You’re buying wholesale goods for your own shelves — no marketplace accounts or approvals are involved.

What are the minimums?

Minimums are set per deal. Some items have their own minimum order quantity; others can be mixed by the case pack to reach an order minimum. Every listing shows its minimum, its unit price and what that minimum costs, so you can see the size of an order before you ask.

Can I mix different items in one order?

On many deals, yes - case packs can be mixed to reach an order minimum. Other deals have a per-item minimum instead. The listing and your invoice show which applies.

Do I need a resale certificate?

Most of our buyers operate as registered businesses or sellers, and a resale certificate helps avoid sales tax on wholesale purchases in applicable states. That said, we work with buyers at different stages — if you’re just getting started and don’t have documentation in place yet, reach out and we’ll let you know what’s needed for your situation.

How does shipping work?

The same way it works for every NPP buyer: you provide the shipping labels from your own carrier account - UPS, FedEx, USPS or a freight carrier - and we forward them to the warehouse holding your order. It ships straight to your store with full tracking through your carrier, at your carrier’s rates, with no shipping markup from us. Each deal shows where it ships from.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept Wire Transfer and ACH Transfer directly. For credit card payments, customers can use Melio (a third-party service that converts credit card payments to ACH transfers). Payment is collected before inventory ships.

Do you offer net terms or payment plans?

No. We collect payment in full before purchasing inventory from our suppliers. This protects everyone involved and keeps our pricing competitive.

How do you handle expiration dates on dated goods?

Date codes are disclosed per lot where applicable — ask about any lot and we’ll tell you what we see before you buy. We don’t sell expired goods.
