About Thomas Trading
Thomas Trading Is a Trusted Overstock and Short-Dated Wholesaler to the Secondary Marketplace
Our Story
In 2004, Thomas Trading, Inc. was born from a simple yet powerful observation. While managing seafood sales, founder Tom Lohr recognized the potential of the local secondary marketplace. He saw an opportunity to provide these markets with essential food products, leading him to acquire short-dated and surplus inventory.
Tom’s commitment to ethical business practices and relationship-building laid the foundation for long-term partnerships that continue to thrive. This dedication to customer experience remains a cornerstone of our business.
Despite the typical challenges of a growing company, Thomas Trading has achieved consistent profitability year after year, a testament to our sound business strategy and enduring vision.
Our Motivation
“I will consider my earthly existence to have been wasted unless I can recall a loving family, a consistent investment in the lives of people, and an earnest attempt to serve the God who made me. Nothing else makes much sense.”
This is a quote from Dr. James Dobson that Senator Frank Wolf had hanging by his desk. I read an article on Senator Wolf in World Magazine (the November 2014 edition). After reading this quote and the article, it became my aspiration to do the same.
