    For vendors, ask a bartender.
    Or contact the office of Tobacco and Firearms in your state, they can refer you to licensed distributors and give info on your own licensing.
    For equipment, look for a store that closed, then reopen it or move the equipment to a “better” location. Keep an eye out for business closing/liquidation type auctions.
    Your distributors can probably help with equipment/shelving too.
    For related suppliers, just ask someone outside your market where they get their stuff.
    Aside from local distributors, you can do a lot of your sourcing on the internet too.

    GO TO PLACES NEAR YOU AND SEE WHO THEY BUY FROM . hAVING 1 SUPPLIER IS NOT A GOOD IDEA EITHER . WITH SEVERAL YOU GET TO SHOP DEALS , SEE HOW PRICES COMPARE , AND ALSO ARE MADE AWARE OF THE BUSINESS CLIMATE TOO . i HAVE LIKE 9 VENDORS THAT CALL ON MY STORES .
