Is it a right approach to ask them Directly?

[PrabhakaranKaruppaih]

A Big wholesale company is keeping more than 2000 items in their inventory. I just want the name of those items. No Price. No Discount Details. Nothing other than the name of those items. Would they share? If I ask them Directly? Otherwise what would be the right approach. That only shop is supplying to more than 90% of the cafe's in our city. Recently they opened for retail too...

P.S:
All of those are snack items or their ingredients 😋

they should if you are their customer.

 

[Math Geek]

if they are selling the items, then there has to be a list somewhere so customers can see what they have.

might be online, might be a catalog, but they can't sell something if no one knows they have it

so yah ask them directly what they got for sale

They do NOT have to tell you the entirety of their inventory.

They may (probably) only tell you what is available.

What they share with you is entirely up to them.

I would wonder why anyone other than a competitor would want to know.

 

[rgd1101]

if they are wholesale how would anyone know what they sell if they don't provider it to their customer?

so you can't imagine that a customer might want to know what they sell ??

What they sell, yes.
The entire inventory, incl future or discontinued items? Probably not.

Exactly. I show what I sell.

 

[USAFRet]

Exactly. I show what I sell.

In any case, all the OP can do is ask.
Whether they give him some, or all....totally unknown.

No harm in asking.

However, if the "Big wholesale company" behaves like many other companies do these days they will likely just answer by sending a link to the company webpage......

Cynicism conceded.
