Shareholders

Get the Best Price on the Best Products

With worldwide product sourcing, Bestbuy Distributors Limited offers its shareholders a wide range of major national brands and private label products at very competitive prices. As a full service independent distributor, Bestbuy operates through one of two Distribution Centres or through Direct/Drop ship programs. Bestbuy shareholders also benefit from customized marketing programs. The Bestbuy network of jobbers is like a family where information is exchanged and benefits are shared in an atmosphere of respect and trust, thanks to the “power of numbers”, the principal on which this company is based.

Why Bestbuy?

Are you tired of your distributor running your business, making decisions for you and taking your profits away? Or maybe you just want to find someone who can offer you the best return on YOUR bottom line? Bestbuy Distributors Limited offers you the value of building your business within the Bestbuy family network. Run your operation with added industry clout while keeping your independence. This “best of both worlds” arrangement is key to the success of Bestbuy and its shareholders where support is rewarded.

For John Brunelle, owner of Spruce Grove, Alta.-based Part-Stop, the best thing about Bestbuy membership is exactly what sets it apart from other chains and buying groups: it offers the support and resources that help the independent jobber stay in the driver’s seat.

How it works at Bestbuy:

At Bestbuy all distributors own shares in the company and, therefore, are called shareholders. By focusing on the principle of “purchasing power” Bestbuy shareholders prosper. The company is designed to give its shareholders the power to compete more profitably in the industry – not only in buying national and private brand products at a better price, but also selling them at a better price. Bestbuy distributes all profits to its shareholders and is managed by a professional team of dedicated individuals. The direction of our company is steered by the decisions of our shareholders via an elected board of directors. In other words, you have a direct say in how Bestbuy is run. This is why the our distributors are so important to Bestbuy. “The Power of Numbers” works because every distributor supports and benefits from the company’s continued success.
