L. Craven & Sons, Inc.
The family-owned company was formed by Louis Craven and his sons, Sam and Ben, in 1950; it is managed by Craven descendants. L. Craven & Sons has a knack for finding sweet deals. The wholesale distributor purchases and resells closeout lots of candy, snacks, and other food items. It also shops the closeout and secondary markets for general merchandise, including office supplies, health and beauty products, and pet supplies. L. Craven & Sons buys surplus, distressed, and returned merchandise and repackages and relabels it for distribution. Before distributing, the products are stored in a 100,000 sq. ft. warehouse.
