Can I buy Amway products in stores?

Amway products are not sold in stores because Amway is a direct selling company and the direct selling business model doesn’t typically use traditional brick and mortar locations.

Instead, people to sell products or services directly to customers in a non-retail environment. Those people are called distributors, consultants, entrepreneurs or, in the case of Amway, Independent Business Owners (IBOs).

In addition to offering products or services, direct selling companies also offer the opportunity for people to own their own business as a seller of those products or services. Because those business owners earn money by selling products or services to customers, offering them through other channels, like traditional stores, would work against the success of not only the business owners but the direct selling company, as well.
