the manufacturers to the large retailers, such as Superquinn and Tesco, who then 
sell them on to the consumer.

Sometimes manufacturers will not sell directly to smaller shops because the orders 
are too small. These retailers buy their goods from the wholesaler instead. 
Wholesalers buy in bulk from manufacturers and sell in smaller quantities to 
retailers.
Example:
Mary O’Malley, owner of The Corner Shop, travels each week to Byrne’s Cash and 
Carry to purchase sweets, cans and crisps for sale in her small shop.
