International snacks wholesale for Chicago-area c-stores and liquor stores
Convenience stores, gas stations and liquor stores put these at the register and in the cooler, and bars and restaurants can order them too. The flavors shoppers hunt for as exotic snacks work best as a short row: a few steady sellers, refilled often, instead of a full wall.
What's in the range
- Snacks: Skittles multipacks in purple, green, pink, cream and orange; Royal Family mochi in several flavors; international Cheetos and Lay's chips; Oreo thins
- Drinks: international Coca-Cola, international Fanta in fruit flavors, and international Red Bull
US Coca-Cola bottles and cans have their own Coca-Cola page, and international Monster flavors are in the catalog alongside the rest of the Monster range. The assortment changes with inventory; check the catalog for current items.
Local delivery, not nationwide shipping
Gokul is a local wholesaler, not a ship-anywhere online store. International items go on the same order and the same delivery as your candy, beverages, bags and beer salt and Twang, so there is no separate shipment to track. If a bottler or snack route already serves your store, these fill the flavors the route doesn't carry; see DSD vs wholesale supply.
How ordering works
Gokul is account-based, not cash-and-carry. Once your account is approved, order by phone, text or WhatsApp at (630) 540-9910, or online after signing in. The public catalog shows products without wholesale prices; account holders sign in for pricing. Read how to order.
