He especially enjoys finding show
specials. “It’s nice to be able to buy
enough for several months at a time at
a discount and have whatever we need
in stock.”
The ability to find special discounts
at Buying Markets is a major benefit
for BES, but Blish-Mize also helps the
operation keep its prices in line with
competitors on a day-to-day basis.
Baze says he enjoys working with
a company that has been around for
many years, too, because he knows
they have a strong history. “They’ve
been around for more than 100 years.
They know what they’re doing. They’re
also friendly and helpful.
“Any time a question comes up,
we call them, and they take care of it
right away,” he says. “They follow up
with us later, too. We really value our
relationship with Blish-Mize and enjoy
working with them.”
BES Supply Store makes the most of its space by stocking products on shelves outside the front
of the store, under an overhang.
