Do it Best will host this year’s Spring Open Buying Day on April 24 at its world headquarters in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The company aims to expand the range of products from domestic and international vendors for its member-owners.
Qualified vendors will meet with the merchandising team to introduce their company and products and to learn about potential business opportunities with Do it Best.
“Finding new and innovative products and expanding our supplier base is key to driving continued growth for our members,” says Jason Stofleth, vice president of merchandising. “Open Buying Days provide vendors with opportunities to efficiently and effectively share their products with thousands of independent business owners worldwide, thanks to our extensive distribution network. We continue to be impressed with the participation in these events, and we look forward to building on that success again this year.”
The newest Do it Best vendors will receive featured placement at the company’s semi-annual markets. The company’s fall market will be held September 6-9 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, and next year’s spring market will be held March 21-23, 2025 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.
