Overview
Airgoods operates a wholesale marketplace connecting independent retailers with emerging food and beverage brands. It serves specialty and natural stores across the U.S. by providing a single place to discover, sample, and order non-alcoholic and functional beverages alongside specialty foods, while brands gain a channel to grow wholesale and secure retail placement. Features include simplified sample requests, data-driven product recommendations, guaranteed lowest prices, transparent shipping costs, Airgoods Direct (0% commission for brands on orders from existing customers), and Net 60 payment terms. The goal is to modernize food and beverage distribution for specialty stores and help smaller brands expand their wholesale presence nationwide.
