Wholesale is a different story. Discount shops do not sell huge packings / wholesale confections with many boxes inside. They might sell slightly bigger packages (often made on purpose for them, not available in other supermarkets), like 1,75l lemonade instead of 1/1,5l lemonade, or 500gr cornflakes instead of 375gr cornflakes, but you will not find 4000gr Cornflakes. Generally, small selection, simple presentation (besides pallets, they use different shelves, e.g. shelves with 2 boards instead of 5-7 boards, because they put boxes upon boxes in the shelves and sell out of the boxes, rather than placing products in the shelves individually).
