About Zall & Sons
For over 85 years, Zall & Sons has been a trusted partner to convenience store retailers throughout Eastern Massachusetts. We now also service Southern New Hampshire. We specialize in the distribution of a wide array of products ranging from cigarettes, cigars, and other tobacco goods, to candy, snacks, groceries, and many more essential items. Our longstanding success is a testament to our unwavering dedication to forging and maintaining genuine partnerships with our retail customers, founded on the principle that their success is our success.
As a medium-sized player in a market that has seen considerable consolidation over the past decade, Zall & Sons stands out by offering an unsurpassed level of service. In contrast to the impersonal and inflexible nature of larger wholesalers, and the inconsistent service from smaller ones, we take pride in our sincere approach that effectively balances exceptional service and a comprehensive selection.
Our value proposition is our people-first approach. We solve issues promptly and efficiently, with four out of the five members of our phone staff being at a managerial level or above. We aim to resolve queries on the first call, sparing our customers the frustration of waiting for callbacks. This customer-centric approach has fostered strong loyalty among our clients and sets us apart in the industry.
The Zalls: Eddie, Terry and Greg
Zall & Sons was founded by Eddie’s father, William, back in 1938, where he initially conducted most of his business from the back of a truck in Plymouth, MA. Eddie took over the business just months after graduating from Northeastern University in 1964 and was later joined by his wife, Terry in 1975. Greg had worked for the company during summers as a teenager and returned in 2007 in a professional role as Vice President and primary operator of the business.
