Founding Retail Partner program · Bronx & Harlem
The first stores get the best terms. And the most customers.
WADCO is opening its network store by store, starting in the neighborhoods where the community already shops. The stores that join first are named in every campaign we run, restocked every week from local inventory, and lock in founding-partner pricing for good.
What a Founding Partner gets
A distributor that sends customers, not just boxes.
Weekly local replenishment
We keep KIVO in New York. You get restocked on a weekly cadence from local inventory — never "wait for the next container," never a pallet you didn't ask for.
Founding-partner pricing, locked
Introductory wholesale terms for the first stores in each neighborhood. They stay with you as the network grows.
Your store, by name
We sample at churches, markets and community events — and tell people exactly which stores carry KIVO. Founding Partners are on that list first.
Shelf-ready from day one
Shelf talkers, placement help and a product that sells next to what you already carry. We set it up with you on delivery day.
You see what sells
What's moving, how fast, and when to reorder — shared with you, not kept from you. No other distributor tells you this.
Start small, no risk
Begin with a single case. Reorder when it sells. That's the whole commitment.
The first product on your shelf
KIVO 4-in-1 Gari Soaking Mix. Your customers already know it.
KIVO moves like an impulse item — people grab three or four packs at a time. It's recognized instantly across the Ghanaian and wider West African community, and it has never had a distributor in New York that keeps it in stock.
KIVO 4-in-1 · 40 packs per case
