Cash and carry and wholesale
Pallet and container pricing for wholesalers supplying the independent grocery trade around Northeast Calgary and the wider Alberta area.
Wholesale supply into Calgary
Northeast Calgary has grown fast and is served through Vancouver rather than the east. Prairie distribution is thin, so a distributor who takes it takes a very wide territory.
The trade in Calgary
Northeast Calgary · Falconridge · Martindale
These are the districts we quote against. If you buy or sell in any of them, you are who this page is for.
How stock arrives
Sea freight into Vancouver, then rail, then onward by road. Roughly 28 to 35 days east coast, 22 to 30 days to Vancouver. Full clearance requirements are on the Canada export page.
Who we supply in Calgary
Whether you already import or have never brought in a container, the enquiry starts the same way.
Independent grocery and supermarkets
Case quantities through your existing distributor, or direct if you buy at volume. A glass marble bottle earns a facing that a fourth cola never will.
Restaurants and catering
A bottled drink that arrives at the table as something to look at. Restaurants in this trade have a drinks list problem, and this solves part of it.
Importers taking the territory
If nobody is bringing Indian marble soda into Calgary yet, that is the opportunity, and it comes with exclusivity in writing.
What you are stocking
A 300 ml lemon soda in a codd-neck glass bottle sealed by a marble — the same bottle sold worldwide as ramune, made in India where it has been called goli soda for a century. 12 bottles per crate, 6 months shelf life, FSSAI licence 20926012000879.
It sells to two people at once: someone who grew up with it, and someone who has never seen a bottle open that way.

Wholesale in Calgary
Do you supply Indian drinks wholesale in Calgary?
We are an Indian producer, not a local wholesaler, so we supply Calgary by the container through an importer or distributor of record in Canada. If you are already importing, we can quote you directly. If you are a retailer or restaurant, tell us and we will point you to whoever holds the territory, or open it if nobody does.
How does stock reach Calgary?
Sea freight from India into Vancouver, then rail, then onward by road. Roughly 28 to 35 days east coast, 22 to 30 days to Vancouver on the water. We produce to order rather than shipping from stock, so shelf life is intact when the container lands — which matters because several markets set a minimum remaining life at the port.
What paperwork do I need to import into Calgary?
Canada is regulated by Canadian Food Inspection Agency. The importer must hold a Safe Food for Canadians licence and operate a written preventive control plan. The licence sits with the importer, not with us, but the CFIA will trace back to our plant if anything is questioned, so our documentation has to survive that inspection. The full requirement list is on our Canada export page, including the part most importers get wrong.
What is the minimum order for Calgary?
One 20ft container as a standard first order. Below that, sea freight per case starts to dominate the landed cost and the numbers stop working. Consolidated trial quantities are possible — ask.
What exactly is the product?
Zeros Classic Lemon Goli Soda: a 300 ml lemon soda in a codd-neck glass bottle sealed with a marble, the same format sold worldwide as ramune. 12 bottles per crate, 6 months shelf life, made under FSSAI licence 20926012000879 in Himachal Pradesh.
