A rack jobber is a wholesale intermediary that specializes in displaying and selling non-food items, such as household goods, health and beauty products, and magazines, to retailers. They deliver, price, display, and inventory the items at the retail store, without the retailer having to purchase title to the goods. This is a good fit for the neighborhood grocery store owner who wants to offer a variety of non-food items without having to manage the inventory and displays themselves.
