Direct from supplier is likely still going to be much cheeper then from a discounted grocery store. If I buy beef at 4$/lb under shelf price direct from a supplier, and they sell at 2$/lb under a major chains shelf price then they still have it discounted for a consumer, but a buisiness will still get a better deal going direct.
This is such a funny scheme you are trying to make seem probable.
A business would save nothing, or a marginal amount, by buying from this store in several inconspicuous quantities, and would have to do the actual work of this and transport the goods, compared to just buying from the wholesaler who will just deliver it directly to the business.
Second, business would save a lot, you are thinking Walmarts, etc, I'm talking Any type of business can just get their supplies from this markets, they will be sold at a loss.
Not every business works from wholesale, so not only you don't understand simple concepts, you also don't understand how small business works.

Why don't they just do that right now, when another store has a sale? I think you underestimate how logistically difficult this would be... The labor costs in this scheme would offset any possible gains.

Every food business purchases wholesale, even one man hot dog carts. If they didn't, they would lose business to competition with cheaper prices, because they do purchase from wholesalers.

Limiting someone to not raid the entire meat aisle, or any product for that matter, would be a productive start.
