Cleanex Bleach can be purchased at JayMart and Tartan Retail Centers, Freshway Supermarkets, and through the retail
Question:
Cleanex Bleach can be purchased at JayMart and Tartan Retail Centers, Freshway Supermarkets, and through the retail platform Taniwha Online. Both JayMart and Tartan buy Cleanex Bleach directly from the manufac- turer Cleanex, which ships this product straight to their own local distribu- tion centers. Taniwha Online takes orders and collects money, but trans- mits any requests for Cleanex Bleach to Universal Logistics, which owns and operates warehouses and shipping facilities as a service to Taniwha. Freshway Supermarkets purchases Cleanex Bleach from Norman Products, a household goods vendor that buys all Cleanex products from the major wholesaler Gamma Distribution. Norman Products also orders small spe- cialty items from Universal Logistics, which is relatively expensive but will ship much smaller amounts to Norman than Gamma Distribution will agree to. Both Gamma Dis- tribution and Universal Logistics obtain Cleanex Bleach directly from Cleanex. To make bleach, Cleanex buys sodium hypochlorite from Down Chemical, a supplier that also manufacturers Down brand tapes and adhesives sold directly to JayMart and Tartan Retail Centers, and are procured by Universal Logistics for sale through Taniwha Online.
