Convenience consultancy, C-Store Collective, has teamed up with RS Sales and Distribution Ltd to streamline retail supplies for independent stores.
The new partnership offers independent retailers a smarter way to manage Goods Not for Resale (GNFR) supplies. This collaboration gives business owners across the UK and Ireland access to a one-stop service for everyday essentials—from consumables and disposables to cleaning products, signage, and point-of-sale materials. Everything is consolidated, efficient, and delivered quickly.
“Independent retailers are busier than ever,” said Mike Igoe, Co-founder at C-Store Collective. “They don’t have time to chase multiple suppliers. RS Sales solves that problem by bringing everything together in one efficient service. It’s smart, simple, and it works.”
Mark Hayfield, Business Development Director at RS Sales & Distribution Ltd, said: “At the heart of our business is a clear focus: providing the essential products and services needed to run efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable retail operations. Our comprehensive range includes full GNFR consolidation, retail POS equipment and materials, cleaning and hygiene systems, back-office supplies, print management and fulfilment services, food preparation and packaging solutions, and much more.
“We work closely with our customers to reduce the true cost of purchasing business supplies by consolidating supply chains, streamlining procurement processes, and leveraging our national buying power – ultimately helping retailers save time, reduce waste, and improve margins. Through this partnership, we aim to deliver smarter, more sustainable procurement solutions that add real value to independent retailers across the UK.”
