Bulkley Valley Wholesale has been a cornerstone of northwest British Columbia’s food supply chain for over 50 years.

At Bulkley Valley Wholesale, we are proud to be a leading grocery and food service wholesaler serving the diverse needs of northwest British Columbia. With over five decades of experience, we have built a reputation for reliability, quality, and exceptional service. Our unique blend of wholesale and retail shopping options, combined with competitive pricing, makes us a one-stop destination for businesses and individual customers alike.

Our journey began in 1959 with a commitment to quality and service.

Our story started in 1959 when Bill and Herb Leach, along with Archie Dunlop, founded a wholesale business focused on confection and tobacco in Smithers, BC. Their dedication to direct sourcing and customer service laid the foundation for success. In 1973, Tom and John Leach took over, continuing the tradition of growth and innovation. Today, as part of the Pattison Food Group—a division of the Jim Pattison Group, Canada’s third-largest private company—we have the resources to uphold our legacy while embracing the future.

We provide comprehensive wholesale solutions for grocery stores, restaurants, mining camps, and more.

At Bulkley Valley Wholesale, we cater to a wide range of clients with our extensive product offerings:

• Serving over 50 independent grocery stores across northwest British Columbia
