Fulfill Customers’ Requests for Expanded Product Offerings
a partnership with
With more than 70 years of merchandising expertise and highly responsive service, Hubert Company is the premier source for products among some of the industry’s largest operations.
Hubert & Retail Resource plan to grow your business by sharing your assortment and expertise with new markets. These markets include salons, car dealerships, physician offices, retail shops and more!
Each new market differentiates themselves by providing hospitality services for their customers. Their common areas are designed to help customers relax, catch up on work, or having a refreshment while waiting for their services to be complete.
Hubert traditionally has been a food service merchandising company but we are expanding into non-foodservice categories!. Our current target markets: Healthcare, Hospitality, Retail, & Education have requested we provide products “outside of the kitchen” and expand into other areas. Examples would be hotel entrance areas, outdoor patio areas and inside the guest rooms. Furniture, Décor, & Accessories that are non-foodservice are also targeted categories. This trend is continuing across all of the markets – they are looking to us for a broader inclusive offering for their businesses. Since we already have these established relationships. This would also be an opportunity for you to reach markets and business units that you currently do not deal with.
In addition – we are expanding into other markets such as car dealerships, physician offices, and retail oriented shops. There is an additional site that we represent www.retailresource.com that is non-food service. Your products would also be offered on this site as well. Our expanded web assortment program grew over 40% last year through both www.hubert.com & www.retailresource.com.
