About Holiday Wholesale Inc
FIRST WAREHOUSE – 1951
Gussel Distributing originated with this unheated, one car garage serving as the warehouse and a 1938 Desoto utilized as a delivery truck.
Bud Gussel began selling candy and cigarettes out of the back of his car in 1951. Gross profit for the first week of business was $26.00. The following year a station wagon was purchased for delivery and the warehouse expanded to include an office. BudÂ’s mother Julie, handled the secretarial duties and his wife, Joyce, waited on customers during the day and helped him fill orders at night.
