CashandCarryGroßhandel

CashandCarryGroßhandel refers to a specific business model within the wholesale sector, commonly known as cash and carry. In this model, customers, typically businesses such as retailers, restaurants, or institutions, visit a wholesale warehouse, select goods themselves, pay for them immediately in cash or via payment card, and then transport the purchased items themselves. This contrasts with traditional wholesale where goods are often ordered in advance and delivered by the wholesaler.

The primary advantage of the cash and carry model for customers lies in the potential for lower prices due to reduced logistical costs for the wholesaler. Customers benefit from immediate availability of goods and the ability to purchase in quantities that suit their specific needs. For the wholesaler, this model simplifies operations, reduces credit risk, and requires less investment in delivery infrastructure.

CashandCarryGroßhandel outlets are often large warehouses stocked with a wide variety of products, ranging from groceries and household items to professional equipment. The target audience is predominantly small to medium-sized businesses that may not meet the volume requirements of traditional wholesalers or prefer the self-service and immediate purchase aspects. The term "Großhandel" is German for wholesale, indicating the origin or common usage of this business model in German-speaking regions. While the core concept is universal, specific implementations may vary by region and individual company.
