The Cash and Carry Stores are owned by Smart and Final. Here the
Cash and Carry store does not require
a business license or reseller's permit. You do get a card if you
are a reseller such as a restaurant or convenience store so that you
are not charged tax on your purchase.

But the Cash and Carry Stores are open to the public as well. I know
it says that on the website but it's not true in practice.
