Hi, I’m Anthony Zappitelli, and this is the story behind Zapps Wholesale—a journey fueled by determination, grit, and a vision to transform an industry. It all began in my college dorm room, with just $300 in my pocket and a dream. At the time, I was studying PGA management, but I quickly realized that path wasn’t going to lead to the life I envisioned. Determined to explore new opportunities, I researched and stumbled upon the liquidation wholesale industry through YouTube. Intrigued, I decided to take a chance.

With $300 in hand, I found a local liquidation company near me. The options within my budget were slim, but I managed to buy a pallet of expired peanuts and prune juice. It wasn’t glamorous, but it was a start. I set up a booth at the flea market, eager yet nervous, as hours ticked by with no customers. Then, an older gentleman approached and bought my entire booth. At that moment, I saw the potential—my initial investment was already recouped, and I realized how quickly this business could grow.

Fueled by that success, I began filling up storage units and outgrew them within months. I took the next big step and leased my first warehouse—a modest 1,200 square feet. But the momentum didn’t stop there. In no time, I needed multiple warehouse spaces. Today, Zapps Wholesale operates over 400,000 square feet of warehouse space, a journey marked by relentless hard work, countless sacrifices, and even a year of living in the warehouse to keep the dream alive. Every challenge was worth it.

What sets Zapps Wholesale apart is our commitment to modernizing the liquidation industry. Focusing on sourcing clean and quality products, we’ve redefined what customers can expect from this space. Beyond our growth, our company culture thrives on innovation and encourages every team member to take risks and push boundaries.

I firmly believe success is within everyone’s reach—you just need to believe in yourself and take that first step. Zapps Wholesale started with a humble dream and $300, and today it’s a thriving enterprise. This is proof that with determination and a willingness to learn, the possibilities are endless.
