Definition
A business or person that sells goods in large quantities, usually at lower prices, to retailers or other businesses rather than directly to customers.
Etymology
From 'wholesale' (whole + sale), meaning selling in bulk. This term emerged during the rise of merchant trading in the 14th-15th centuries.
Kelly Says
Wholesalers are the invisible middle people in commerce—you rarely deal with them, but they're crucial to how goods get from manufacturers to stores. E-commerce like Costco has made wholesalers visible by selling directly to consumers!
