Our industry has had the same problems as the independent retailers have and that is the large chain retailers are making it tough on us and our customers. We have tried to select a variety of merchandise that does not compete directly with the large chains. This gives our customers a chance to make a decent profit and offer their customers a wide variety of merchandise to choose from. Akron Novelty & Merchandise Co. is not open to the general public. We require a vendor’s number, resale number or sales tax exempt number. Flea market vendors are also welcome to purchase from us.

The wholesale distributor industry is a very unique business. We buy from over a hundred manufacturers and importers and purchase in large quantities to get the best price and freight rates available. We buy from all over the country because, these manufacturers and importers are scattered in large and small cities and rural areas all over the country. Most of the large importers and manufacturers have sales representatives (reps.) that travel the country calling on wholesalers like us. These sales reps may have multiple lines of merchandise to sell.

Our main objective as a wholesale distributor is to have the best selection at the best price we can manage. Akron Novelty & Merchandise Co. prides itself in stocking what we sell so that we can ship what our customers want within 48 hours of getting an order.
