International Wholesale

What International Wholesale does

International Wholesale Inc. is a privately held B2B wholesale distributor based in Allen Park, Michigan, operating in the Great Lakes Area. The company aggregates roughly 1,996 active SKUs across eight consumer-goods categories—including air care, cleaning, disposables, food & beverage, general merchandise, health & personal care, kitchen & housewares, and seasonal items—and resells them in bulk case quantities to dollar stores, discount retailers, and independent resellers. Featured manufacturer brands include White Rain and Hershey, and the firm also operates the HomeSmart private-label line in household storage and organization.

The company runs an account-gated e-commerce platform where pricing is hidden behind login, supporting a negotiated or tiered wholesale pricing model. Fulfillment is hybrid: regional customers can place orders through the website, visit physical showrooms in the Great Lakes Area, or use drop-shipment services offered to qualified wholesale accounts. Operating hours are U.S. business hours (Mon-Thu 8am-4pm EST, Fri 8am-3pm EST), and the company accepts new wholesale account sign-ups online.

Revenue mechanics are entirely transactional product resale to retail buyers, with a sales-led go-to-market reinforced by social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Instagram. The firm has no disclosed funding, no institutional investors, no parent company, and no disclosed management team beyond CEO David Konja. Customer concentration is directed primarily at the dollar store and discount retail vertical, with no named enterprise customers disclosed.

Direct peers

• DollarDays: DollarDays is a B2B wholesale distributor selling closeout and dollar-priced consumer merchandise to retailers, including dollar stores and independent resellers. Closest direct parallel to International Wholesale's account-gated, multi-category closeout model.

Broad incumbents

• McLane Company: McLane is one of the largest broadline wholesale distributors in the US, primarily supplying convenience stores, dollar stores, and small-format retailers with grocery, beverage, and consumable products. Directly comparable channel and customer base, operating at vastly larger scale.
• UNFI (United Natural Foods): UNFI is the largest publicly traded wholesale distributor of grocery and natural foods in North America, supplying conventional grocers, discount retailers, and food service. Comparable business model as a broadline grocery and consumer goods wholesaler serving discount channels.
• C&S Wholesale Grocers: C&S is the largest privately held wholesale grocery distributor in the US, supplying supermarkets, mass merchants, and dollar/discount retailers. Highly relevant comparable for a consumer goods wholesaler focused on serving retail customers.
• Sysco: Sysco is the largest broadline foodservice distributor in the world, supplying restaurants, hospitality, and institutional buyers. A relevant adjacent comparable for distributor scale economics, even though its primary channel is foodservice rather than retail.

Others

• Dollar Tree: Dollar Tree is the largest US dollar store operator with 8,000+ stores and a major downstream customer for International Wholesale. Not a competitor (it is a retailer, not a wholesaler), but the dominant buyer in the dollar store channel International Wholesale serves.
• Dollar General: Dollar General operates the largest small-box discount retail network in the US, with 19,000+ stores. A key downstream customer in the dollar/discount channel rather than a competitor, but materially anchors demand for wholesale suppliers like International Wholesale.
