Founded around the year 2000 by Bob & Pat Nelson, Big Deals Wholesale emerged from Bob’s four-decade-long experience serving both retail and wholesale clientele. As a retailer, he recognized the challenges of procuring inventory at the right price and in manageable quantities. Bob’s vision was to empower independent retailers to flourish in today’s competitive market, and his wholesale distribution site played a pivotal role in their success.
In August of 2017, Bob & Pat entrusted Big Deals Wholesale to one of their own customers, John Lottis & Bob Davis, who are also brothers-in-law and business partners. With extensive backgrounds in both retail and wholesale industries, John and Bob, along with their spouses, have established and expanded four prominent retail stores in Oregon’s Willamette Valley over the past decade.
Their chain of stores, Wheeler Dealer Liquidation, offers a diverse range of products from tools to housewares, apparel, groceries, and more. When presented with the opportunity to acquire Big Deals Wholesale from Bob Nelson, it was clear that the company aligned seamlessly with their existing business model.
