L&R DISTRIBUTORS

Wholesale · 646 employees · Founded 1956 · Brooklyn, New York, United States

L&R Distributors is one of the largest purchasers and distributors of cosmetics in the United States, but we’re far more than cosmetics. We distribute over 40,000 items, including toys, school supplies, hosiery, hair accessories, home appliances, health and beauty aids, and more through our strategically located regional warehouses in Arkansas, New Jersey, and Nevada. And we don’t just deliver products, we deliver results. Our nationwide team of over 600+ merchandisers provides in-store execution by stocking shelves according to planograms, ensuring every item is placed for maximum visibility and sales impact. This hands-on service helps retailers maintain consistency, reduce labor costs, and elevate the customer experience. We believe every retailer deserves fast, reliable, and affordable access to the products their customers want. Our mission is to simplify the supply chain for retailers of all sizes, helping them stay competitive in a fast-moving market. By offering a one-stop solution for high-demand categories and backing it with expert merchandising support, we empower stores to thrive. Whether it’s a national chain or a local shop, we help retailers focus on what matters most: serving their customers. We combine scale, speed, and service. Our three regional warehouses ensure efficient nationwide distribution, while our team of 600+ dedicated merchandisers provides in-store support that drives sales and enhances the customer experience. From sourcing and logistics to shelf placement and inventory management, we handle the heavy lifting. Our integrated approach means retailers get the products they need, and the support to sell them, without the complexity.
