Our Business

Our business is built on long term relationships at retail, head offices and distributor levels. To date we have not only functioned at the retail level by providing in-store service, we have also been involved with our manufacturers in strategic planning and presentations with our customers’ head office buyers both regionally and nationally.

We highly value the mature relationships we have developed in this business with our factories and our customers both on a business and personal level. This and our reputation is the foundation of our success.  We are looking for a long term growth line that will allow us to develop our distributor business in the west.
