teamed up about 10 years ago, Marvin says. “It has
worked well. They’ve done a very good job of building a
paint and sundries line, which, for hardware distributors,
may be challenging at times.”
He also appreciates that the Blish-Mize team listens
to him and provides him with the products he’s looking
for, which leads to higher inventory turns and lets
customers know they can always find what they need at
his store.
“If we say we need a certain product, they are very
good about providing it for us,” he says. “They help
us be competitive with pricing, too. And the sales
representatives are great. I think the most important
thing is their willingness to get the products we want
and need.”
And those products are premium products. “We carry
good brands,” Marvin says. “We don’t chase the cheap
end of the business. Our customers know if they want a
high-quality paint product, they can find it here.”
The Mungers say they enjoy doing business with
Blish-Mize. “They are just the right size: They can help
provide us with what we need, and they listen to what
we have to say.”
