The City Wholesale Advantage

We sell a full line of Liquor, Beer, Wine and Sundry Items as well as paper and cleaning supplies. All the brands you want!  We are open seven days a week including all Holidays to serve and support our customers. Orders can be placed in person during regular business hours or 24 hours a day by phone or online. All orders are processed for prompt pick-up at our centrally located facility in the Broadmoor neighborhood of New Orleans. We sell to a wide range of retailers including bars, restaurants, convenience stores, reception venues and caterers.

Our Founder

City Wholesale Liquor is a New Orleans locally owned company that has continuously operated since founder Joseph Maselli opened the doors in 1950. Maselli had been stationed at Camp Plauche near New Orleans towards the end of World War II when he met and married his wife Antoinette. After attending college on the GI Bill, he started City Wholesale Liquor working 7 days/week while Antoinette took care of their four children. The second generation is now operating City Wholesale Liquor in the tradition of Joseph Maselli: customer service as the first priority.

The Heart of the City

Walk-in orders are always allowed during business hours (even if it's just for 1 bottle!).  And given our central location, we strive to provide our customers with convenience at every step.  

How to Open an Account 

To open a new account, we will need a copy of your Louisiana ATC liquor permit. and your Resale Certificate. We accept Cash, Credit and Debit cards, Checks (prior approval necessary), ACH payments and Fintech payments. Beer must be paid for upon delivery with cash, check or debit cards only according to state law.

Additional Information

Notarial Services are available for the convenience of our customers by appointment. You get everything you need to run your establishment with one stop and one invoice. Why wait for delivery from multiple vendors over several days or visiting several vendors when you can get everything under one roof? This saves time, increases security, and gives you more control of your schedule as well as making it easy to pay your bills.
