What We Supply

Trade stock sits in our own warehouses rather than an agent’s, so the lines on your account are the lines we actually hold.

  • Pulses and legumes: beans, lentils, split peas
  • Cooking oils and fats

Wholesale Supply You Can Plan Around

A wholesale account is only useful if it is predictable. Your area has a fixed delivery day, your repeat lines are held as stock, and your pricing is set against your actual volumes rather than quoted order by order.

One Account

Dry goods, packaging and cleaning chemicals on one trade account, one delivery and one invoice.

Where We Deliver

Johannesburg warehouse

Serves Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and North West from The Gables Commercial Park, Wychwood.

Cape Town warehouse

Serves the Cape Town metro and the wider Western Cape from Stikland Industrial, Bellville.

Deliveries run on weekly scheduled routes, so each account has a set delivery day. We do not currently deliver into KwaZulu-Natal, the Eastern Cape or the Free State.

Questions We Get Asked

Do I need a business to open a wholesale account?

Yes. We supply trade customers rather than the public. Tell us about your operation and the lines you need and we will set the account up.

What does your wholesale range cover?

Over 2,000 ambient lines: rice, maize meal, flour, sugar, oils, pulses, pasta, spices, condiments, sauces, tinned goods, tea and coffee, plus food-service packaging and cleaning chemicals.

How is pricing set?

Against your actual lines and volumes rather than a single published list, because a canteen buying pallets and a cafe buying cases are not the same account.

How quickly do you deliver?

On weekly scheduled routes by area. Each account has a set delivery day, which lets you order to a cycle rather than chasing stock.

Where do you deliver?

Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and North West from Johannesburg, and the Cape Town metro and wider Western Cape from Stikland.

Are you food safety certified?

Yes. Intertek FSA certification under the GFSI Global Markets programme, certificate 0249980, valid to 17 June 2027.
