(Greenwood Village, CO) PRIDE Centric Resources (PRIDE), a Colorado-based buying cooperative for the Foodservice Equipment and Supplies (FE&S) industry announces the addition of seven new dealerships to its network, as of January 2023. This addition supplements six other dealers that joined the 33-year old PRIDE Centric Resources buying group in 2022. The group of approximately 100 dealerships covers the United States from Maine to southern California, Alaska to southern Florida.
“We are excited to welcome these well-established dealers to the PRIDE Centric Resources buying group,” said PRIDE Centric Resources CEO Karin Sugarman. “All of these dealers come with decades of experience in the industry. We are pleased that they chose to come to PRIDE.”
The new dealerships include:
- CARE Sales & Service Camdenton, MO
- Don’s Supply, Inc. Little Rock, AR
- Northshore Wholesale Marketplace Peabody, MA
- Norvell Fixture & Equipment Co. Augusta, GA
- SFS Equipment, Inc. Arden Hills, MN & Superior, WI
- Tableware International Design & Supply Chula Vista, CA
- Alida Hospitality Plano, TX
Eric Skogrand, PRIDE’s Director of Business Development noted, “Dealers have options when it comes to the buying group they choose to be part of in this industry. It is encouraging to see more dealers, like these, choose PRIDE as their buying group, especially dealers with such long histories, like these seven.”
Many FE&S dealerships belong to a buying group to leverage the buying power and discounts they receive equipment manufacturers and suppliers, but it is often more than just that. PRIDE also offers robust marketing and training support, as well as industry insight dealerships wouldn’t otherwise get by being solo. PRIDE dealership inclusion is also an advantage to the dealer as the organization is a cooperative, and the dealers who become members have an ownership stake in the organization.
“PRIDE [Centric Resources] is a different kind of buying group,” said Cathy Ellickson, Vice President of Dealer Services, “With dealer-owners, the whole focus of the organization is on dealership success, not the growth of the buying group. Dealers like these choose to come to PRIDE for many reasons.”
PRIDE Centric Resources will continue to look at additional dealership applications in 2023, based on the guidelines outlined by its Board of Directors.
