purveys
Sells to customers
Purveys means supplies or provides, especially as a regular business: a shop that purveys fine cheeses.
The word carries a slightly formal or old-fashioned tone.
It often appears in contexts involving the spread of information or ideas, sometimes with a critical edge: a website that purveys conspiracy theories.
