PROFILE |
 |
Variety is not only the spice of life -- it's also a major purveyor of discount retail goods. With about 500 stores in 14 states from Louisiana to Delaware, Variety Wholesalers has survived even Wal-Mart's march through rural America. The company, which has aggressively bought other chains while closing poorly performing stores, tends to set up shop in small towns where the retail giants fear to tread. The company's retail outlets include Bargain Town, Maxway, Rose's, Super 10 (which prices all items at or below $10), Super Dollar, Super Saver, and Value-Mart. Variety Wholesalers was founded in 1932 by James Pope; the Pope family, including chairman and CEO John Pope, owns and leads the company.
