A rack jobber is a type of wholesaler that provides delivery, pricing, display, and inventory management services to retailers, particularly for non-food items such as housewares, toys, and personal care products. The rack jobber places their own rack or display case in the retailer's store and keeps it stocked, while the retailer earns a commission on the sales. This would be the best fit for the grocery store owner who wants non-food items delivered and managed by a wholesaler.
