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.”
