Natchez Big M Supply, McComb Wholesale Paper Co. acquired by Southwest Wholesale

NATCHEZ — The new owner of the Natchez-based Big M Supply company announced a merging of the company with McComb Wholesale Paper into Southwest Wholesale and its family of brands.

Located at 21 Feltus St., Big M Supply is a supplier of laundry equipment and supplies and services, janitorial equipment and supplies, and paper and paper products.

Big M Supply opened in 2000 and operated under the ownership of Fred Middleton and family until it was sold in October of 2021, then president Wes Middleton said.

Southwest Wholesale CEO Rob Belote, who purchased Big M, announced on Tuesday the merger with Southwest Wholesale LLC.

With this transfer of ownership, these companies have been combined into one single entity, rebranded, and given a new visual identity — Southwest Supply Co.
“On behalf of the Belote family, I want to express our sincere gratitude to the customers of these fine brands, both past and present,” Belote shared. “Our family remains committed to serving you and these communities we’ve called home for three generations. Our highest priority has and will always be you, our customers. We remain committed to maintaining the high standards of quality and service you have come to know and expect throughout our history.”

With the completion of this venture, Southwest Supply Co. joins Gregg Office Supply and Premier Detailing Solutions to complete Southwest Wholesale’s family of brands.
