Among the most frequently asked questions by those considering opening and operating their own dollar store is first about what merchandise to carry in their store. The next most immediate question is where the wholesale dollar merchandise suppliers are located. I will leave the question regarding what products to carry for another time. However, knowing where to locate qualified, reputable suppliers is an important question which can be answered with a bit of time and effort. In this article I provide 6 means of locating suppliers for a soon to open dollar store. 1) Online Searches – Input simple search terms such as dollar store merchandise, wholesale dollar merchandise to start the process. You will soon see you have pages and pages of prospective suppliers listed. Sift through to develop a list of the best prospects which actually support dollar stores. 2) Library Searches in the closest nearby major commerce centers – Visit the public library and do a little investigation. Soon you will find many potential supplies. Remember to narrow down the list to those closest to you. Freight can be a major issue if the merchandise must be hauled from too far away. 3) Ask other store owners – This is easiest if you contact dollar discount store owners outside your market area. They will feel less threatened by the competition and are more likely to make suggestions which can help you. 4) Examine packaging in existing stores for manufacturer or distributor information – A quick trip to a few local stores combined with a check of the manufacturer and/or distributor identification will get you started. Many of these companies will supply literally hundreds of different products. 5) Trade Shows – Not only can you see the products they offer, but you can also meet the company representative in-person. If you find the right company and are ready to buy merchandise, be sure to ask about trade show special pricing. 6) Wholesale dollar merchandise supplier directories – One of the fastest ways to locate potential suppliers is through an industry supplier directory. Be sure to check potential suppliers thoroughly even when they come from a directory. The above are just a few of the easiest methods for locating suppliers. You will soon discover hundreds of potential wholesale dollar merchandise suppliers for your store just from these options. Be sure to carefully screen the best of the group with care. The success of your dollar store business hangs in the balance. A wrong supplier or two can wreak havoc with your chances for success. Are you interested in starting a dollar store?
