Can anybody give me the name of local suppliers/distributors in the Los Angeles vicinity (any brand)? I am also interested in non closeout suppliers, such as name brand mattresses as Sealy, Chatum, Temperapedic to name a few. Need sales rep or company phone numbers for stores I am planning in San Bernardino, Long Beach, Orange County and San Diego County locations.
I am interested in finding suppliers for a store I want to open in the L.A./Orange County area. I am also interested in selling lower ticket items such as futons. Any and all brands. Need names or reps for these products. I plan on opening multiple locations this summer.
My store sells mattresses and futons, etc., as well as other furniture. What I have found, is that one must order an amount that is a credible amount from each supplier. The sales rep would come to you, when you have set up a business that can be considered by the companies you want to buy from. If some other dealer is selling what you want to sell, and is a good customer, the company may very well not sell to you, in order to keep the old customer happy. Once you have at least one place that IS ready for such merchandise, you are able to contact companies on the net, and to speak to them. You get the rep that is already in that particular territory.

You can’t walk 10 feet with out tripping on a discount mattress store-a-rama-world in SoCal. What are you thinking?
