Fall 2023 Hardlines Strategies

Some final details are still coming together at Anita Supply Center, such as vendor displays and store signage. Kim says she was surprised at the speed of the initial store reset, due to the support of Blish-Mize staff. “The initial reset where the Blish-Mize team came in and moved a majority of the store happened quickly— less than a week,” she says. “We are so grateful for the Blish-Mize team and our sales representative Peggy for not only creating the new floor plan, but coming out and doing the heavy lifting that comes with completely changing a store layout.” Kim says the partnership with Blish-Mize was a key factor in the success of the reset. They wouldn’t have been able to do it without the distributor’s support. “They came in, got the job done and have continued to support us since they did the initial reset in February,” she says. “Blish-Mize has been incredibly helpful through the entire process. They aren’t just a wholesaler and distributor—they are family. We are so incredibly grateful for their help in making our store shine.”
