McLane Procurement Solutions

To effectively service more than 40,000 retail locations, we work closely with thousands of manufacturers to offer the widest range of products to our customers. In fact, we are one of the largest worldwide purchasers of products in such key retail categories as tobacco, candy and salty snacks. This kind of buying power means that we can assist you in getting the best manufacturer pricing possible. Best of all, these low prices are available for all our customers, regardless of whether you are a nationwide chain or a single store.

Some of the procurement solutions that McLane provides to its customers to help them buy better include:

• McLane Virtual Trade Shows—Enables retailers to visit Web “booths” from dozens of leading manufacturers 24 hours a day and see hundreds of new products and promotions without the expense, time loss or hassles of traveling to live trade shows.
• National Trade Show—Our special once-a-year event where we bring together thousands of suppliers and retail customers to build relationships and make deals that benefit both parties.
• Regional and Local Vendex Trade Shows—Similar to our National Trade Show, our regional and local Vendex events are held in smaller, more intimate settings, enabling retailers and suppliers to network, make deals and meet with McLane representatives in a relaxed environment.
