For distributors and wholesalers

Supply the grocery stores inside apartment buildings near you

A grocery store inside an apartment building sells a little per order but sells every day — and restocks often. Today most of that restocking happens at warehouse clubs, done by the seller themselves.

We are opening the network to supply partners: distributors and wholesalers who want to serve these stores with the right mix, local delivery and terms that work for very small retailers.

Why serve the HomeMarket network

Frequent repeat orders

Fast-turning stores with a tight assortment buy the same items again and again.

Customers clustered by area

Sellers in the same neighborhood and the same buildings make for efficient delivery routes.

A new small-format channel

Points of sale that did not exist before: stores opened by residents inside their buildings.

Orders organized by the platform

The seller app already builds restock lists from what sold and what is running low.

How the partnership works

  1. Register your business

    Share your delivery area, categories, minimum order and lead times.

  2. We check coverage

    We match your delivery area with the buildings where HomeMarket stores are open or opening.

  3. We connect you with sellers

    Supply partners are introduced to sellers in their area as a restocking option.

Who it is for

  • Grocery, beverage, snack, household and personal care distributors that serve small retailers.
  • Wholesalers and cash-and-carry businesses that deliver to or serve resellers.
  • Brand-exclusive distributors looking for new points of sale in residential neighborhoods.

Frequently asked questions

Do HomeMarket sellers already buy from distributors?

Most restock at warehouse clubs today. We are selecting our first supply partners by region — registering puts you in that first group.

How big is an in-building store’s order?

Smaller than a corner store’s, but frequent. The partnership works best for businesses that already serve small retailers or can group deliveries by area.

Do I need to integrate systems?

Not to get started. First we understand your mix, area and terms; catalog and ordering integrations come later, if they make sense.
