Our Story

Two college roommates, Patrick and Tyler, met at a Christian school in Tennessee and quickly bonded over their shared passion for business. Both possessing unique skills and expertise, they decided to join forces and make a difference in the wholesale industry.

Patrick, with his knack for building lasting business relationships and identifying customers with specific needs, was adept at connecting them with the right products. Tyler, on the other hand, had a strong background in logistics and supply chain management, thanks to his experience working at Amazon.

The former college roommates combined their skills and started their own company, Grizzly Trader. They identified a market opportunity for a wholesale distributor specializing in procuring closeouts, factory seconds, overruns, insurance claims, and other distressed products. Recognizing the need for a distributor capable of serving the secondary market, they focused on catering to discount grocery stores, dollar stores, prisons, and food banks.

Together, Patrick and Tyler quickly established Grizzly Traders as a reliable and cost-effective option for businesses seeking bulk products. They prioritized offering high-quality products at unbeatable prices, along with exceptional customer service, to ensure complete customer satisfaction.

United by their shared faith and mutual dedication, Patrick and Tyler have built a thriving enterprise rooted in honesty, integrity, and a commitment to serving their customers. Continuously seeking new products and opportunities to enlarge their inventory and service area, they believe that God has blessed their business and are determined to utilize their success in helping others.
