For brands and distributors
Chi-Metro Store & Supply LLC is an independent online retailer based in Chicago, buying shelf-stable food and household goods for resale across the greater Midwest.
How we buy
We buy outright at wholesale and take title at purchase, and opening orders are prepaid in full. That means no consignment to administer, no credit application, and no receivable sitting on your books. Unsold inventory is ours to carry rather than something that comes back to you.
How we represent your brand
We stick to minimum advertised pricing and won’t chase the bottom of the market—price erosion is hard for a brand to undo once it starts, and it costs you far more than it would ever gain us. Products are represented accurately, and we follow supplier return policies as written: anything damaged, defective, or mis-shipped is handled through your stated process.
How we start
We start modestly with a prepaid opening order, reorder against what sells, and scale month over month as we learn which items turn. We would rather build steadily than overcommit on a first order and sit on inventory.
Documentation
EIN and Illinois resale certificate available on request.
