The archive contains original top quality editorial, invaluable to independent retailers and online wholesale buyers. Topics include News, New Product Announcements, Product Trends, Business Strategies, Supplier Profiles, Web Tech Tips, and more.

The Wholesalecentral.com News and Article Archive provides a tremendous reference for the industry.

Over the coming months, the archive will be expanded to contain several years' worth of articles and information.

Wholesalecentral.com's parent company, Sumner Communications, Inc., is the leading publisher of trade magazines serving the wholesale and retail industry. Sumner publishes five editorial-rich monthly trade magazines for independent retailers, new merchandise flea market vendors, and online wholesale buyers. These magazines will be the primary sources of the articles published in the archive.

"We have been supplying timely editorial, as well as timeless reference materials, in our print publications since 1988," said Scott Sumner, president of Sumner Communications, Inc. "We are excited to finally bring that wealth of information to the Web in an organized, searchable format."
