Barring a heretofore-unmentioned Wand Shop in Knockturn Alley, 
Ollivander's is the place you go when you need a wand. All the escapees 
needed wands and got them. Thus, so far, Ollivander supplied  them. 
And there is that troublesome anagram -- An Evil Lord -- for Ollivander. 

ARYA NOW:
Granted in PS, Hagrid does say, "Just Ollivanders left now--only place for 
wands, Ollivanders, and yeh gotta have the best wand."  But Hagrid says lots 
of off things and this could mean it's the only place in Diagon Alley, in London 
or just in the UK.

But, obviously, there *are* other places to go for wands outside of London/Uk.  
Viktor Krum had a Gregorovitch wand and Fleur had one that certainly wasn't 
made by Ollivander.  

Not to mention the fact that any witch or wizard might just make their own 
wands.  In FB, (softcover, p5) it describes how one might leave an offereing 
to placate Bowtruckles in order to gain access to a tree for wand wood.  

Actually, a place off Knockturn Alley with a business in selling used wands to 
folks who've "mysteriously" lost theirs, sounds just about right.  If there's a 
demand, there's got to be a market for it.
