What city and suburban stores order
Smaller city stores put candy and snacks, drinks, lighters, bags and receipt paper on one delivery instead of several suppliers. That is c-store wholesale in Chicago and smoke shop wholesale in Chicago. See candy and snacks, beverages, lighters and store supplies.
Buying tobacco products in Chicago
Chicago stores need a city tobacco license on top of the state license, and Chicago and unincorporated Cook County have their own flavored-nicotine rules. See the Illinois tobacco retailer license guide and nicotine pouches and vapes in Illinois.
Delivery or Itasca pickup
Northwest-suburb stores are a short trip from the warehouse, so pickup can suit a small top-up. Pickup is free and has no minimum. City and south-suburb stores can put everything on one same-week delivery: a $500 minimum, with no delivery fee beyond it.
