For the same reason that causes many of our individual fans to order our Heat & Eat BBQ and have it shipped to their homes, our wholesale BBQ program is a great idea for getting people into your store or venue the first time and then coming back more often.
You'd be surprised how many folks search "Brunswick Stew Near Me", purchase, and then order again and again.
We Love Being an Anchor Food for Our Wholesale BBQ Partners
If you've had the pleasure for renting retail space in a strip mall, you'll know the anchor tenant. That's the big box retailer like Target or Walmart that helps get people in the doors of the smaller stores like shoes, restaurants, etc.
Our Heat & Eat BBQ products help in the same way. We don't sell to Kroger, Publix, Walmart, Target, etc. and people love our products so much that they buy BBQ subscriptions.
So we love it when small businesses across the US want to use our products to help support everything else they do.
Who Are Good Wholesale BBQ Partners?
At present, our partners fall into a number of categories:
- Independent Groceries/Bodegas
- General Stores
- Specialty Stores
- Bars
- Restaurants
- Wineries
- Sports Venues
- Caterers
If you sell commodity food, you're probably not a good fit for us. If you want to differentiate yourself with people that know what good, healthy food is, you're probably a good fit.
How Do You Join Our Wholesale BBQ Program?
We wanted to make it as easy as possible to work with us, so we built a new site just for our wholesale partners.
To join, there's a 1-minute application.
Simply fill out the form, and then we will grant you access to the portal.
It works just like an e-commerce site. Instead of having to do POs and then make a phone call to be sure they were received, you simply check out.
How Do I Price Piedmont Products?
If you are selling our Heat & Eat BBQ in the consumer size bags, we give you a suggested retail price on the wholesale listing.
If you are using our products to make BBQ sandwiches, Barbacoa tacos, etc., you'll want to set a price that makes sense for your overall menu and market. We're happy to point you to wineries, venues, etc. that use our products this way so that you can idea.
Are There Unique BBQ Products Available on the Wholesale Channel?
Yes. We recently started offering bulk Pulled Pork (5 lb bag). That's a great option for catering, venues, bars, etc. that have good volume. It's still a product that only requires 15 minutes in boiling water and then it's ready to east.
What Do Our Wholesale BBQ Partners Say?
They love our products as an anchor and unique product for busy parents. They also love the convenience of being able to check out via the e-commerce site.
