Purity Wholesale Grocers, Inc.

PROFILE Untainted by grocery retailing, Purity Wholesale Grocers (PWG) sticks to getting the goods to grocers. The company takes advantage of the discounts granted to large wholesalers and retailers (and of the promotional pricing offered in certain regions) by purchasing items and selling them to retailers not privy to those discounts. PWG moves groceries, health and beauty care items, pharmaceutical products, dairy foods, and dry goods to US grocery chains, drugstores, and convenience stores. PWG's marketing network is made up of 12 independently operated food distributors, marketers, and transportation firms. The company is owned by Jeff Levitetz, who founded PWG in 1982.  COMPETITION Dot Foods, Inc. (dossier) Nash Finch Company (NAFC) Spartan Stores, Inc.
