Which code does this activity belong in?
Confectionery merchant wholesalers distribute confectioneries, salted or roasted nuts, popcorn, potato and corn chips, and fountain fruits and syrups. This code distinguishes confectionery-focused wholesale operations from general line grocery merchant wholesalers, which handle broader assortments of food products across multiple categories. Establishments specializing primarily in confectionery and snack items belong in this industry rather than in general grocery distribution.
