INDEPENDENT RETAILERS who like to see what they’re buy- ing have a friend with the folks at Los Angeles based, JC Sales. While buying on the web is an option, retailers can also walk into the company’s showroom, select exactly what they want in the quantities they need, and come back three hours later to pickup their complete order. “We not only have what they want, but we’ll load their van or truck when the order is ready,” says Wally Lee, director of marketing and technology. “We’re here to help the small independent busi- ness owners, and we’ve brought
the concept of speed and service to wholesaling,” he adds. JC Sales has about 11,000 dif-
ferent items in its huge showroom, and another 3,500 of what it calls, cash & carry options. “Most of our showroom items are under a dollar, and the cash & carries are over a dollar,” Lee explains. “The showroom items come prepacka- ged in certain quantities, and the cash & carries can be bought sin- gly. This way, our sales are more
geared to the smaller storeowners who don’t need huge quantities of everything.” Lee says his company serves more than 3,000 walk-in customers every month. “We’re trying to help the little guys, those who just want to come in and do self service,” he says. They can pick what they want, as we try to maintain a discount margin for everyone,” he adds. For example, JC Sales has
monthly promotions on its web- site, featuring about 50 new items a month at special pricing. “We have a list of monthly promo items that we send out,” Lee says. “Now
