Member Savings Through Vendor Partnerships

PPP retail members receive built-in savings and buying advantages through our vendor partners across key retail categories.

Most retail members see an average of 10% off wholesale pricing, plus Net 30 or better terms, with no inflated minimums designed to push larger orders than you need.

Throughout the year, retail members can also take advantage of additional savings opportunities tied to seasonal programs, events, and partner incentives.
