Cash and carry

Cash and carry is a wholesale business model in which goods are sold from a warehouse-style premises to business buyers who pay for products immediately at the point of sale and arrange their own transport. The model emphasizes self-service, immediate payment, and reduced service offerings such as credit accounts or delivery, which distinguishes it from traditional full-service wholesalers. It is commonly used in the distribution of fast-moving consumer goods and supplies to independent retailers, food service operators, and other business customers.
