"AWG understands that nothing happens until the cash register rings at retail!" |
"The purpose of any business is to provide a return to the shareholder. In the co-op business model, I am the shareholder. That’s a much different business model than my previous supplier! The folks at AWG understand that nothing happens until the cash register rings at retail. They have the experience and commitment to support my efforts to compete. The staff at AWG works hard to guard, protect and maximize the shareholder interest and as a co-op member my business is the winner.”

"The bottom line doubled when we switched to AWG!" |
"We have been with AWG for over ten years now. When we started we had one store and had been a customer of (at the time) the largest voluntary wholesale company in the industry. At one time we had 20 stores, but had sold all but one store due to the fact that most were marginally profitable. With the one store we kept, the bottom line doubled when we switched to AWG. As a customer of the major voluntary wholesaler, we had purchased over a billion dollars of groceries from them over the years. Yet as a single store operator new with AWG, we got more respect from them than we ever did from the company we had bought over a billion dollars from.I can’t say enough about our wonderful experience with AWG, they have helped us regrow our company, now with three very profitable stores.”

"Whether you have 1 or 10 stores, AWG makes everyone feel like family!" |
"We have been with AWG for 15+ years and they have been truly instrumental in our growth and success. The Co-Op has been a huge success for us in that it provides us the ability to invest in our stores, which is an investment in our children and grandchildren. AWG strives to find the technology that it takes to keep us up to date with our competitors, including Advertising, Online Shopping, and Websites. Whether you have one store or 10 stores AWG makes everyone feel like family. I can’t imagine another Co-op or wholesaler that would be better for our business or our family.”

"One of our best business decisions!" |
"Grolmus Enterprises has been a proud member/owner in AWG since 2010. We were looking for a new wholesale partner that had all the tools to help our company grow. AWG was the perfect fit for us. Their cost of goods and retailer focus were key factors in our decision. AWG truly has a great toolbox of programs, and people to help us grow. Their private label program is second to none in the industry. We have had tremendous growth in private label since joining AWG. With our previous wholesalers we peaked at 11-13% penetration in store brands. Today we enjoy over 30%. Moving to AWG was one of our best business decisions.”

"We can compete with any other retailer!" |
"There is no downside to AWG. We can compete with any other retailer on any item by taking advantage of the programs they offer. To those independent retailers buying from other wholesalers, I would strongly encourage you to give AWG a hard look It could very well be the best move you ever make in your career. It was for me.”
