Do it Best will host its fall Open Buying Day on November 1 at its world headquarters in Fort Wayne, Indiana, as the company continues to enhance the selection of potential products it offers its member-owners from domestic and international vendors. Qualified vendors will meet with the Do it Best merchandising team to introduce their company and products, as well as learn about the potential of a business relationship with Do it Best.
“Our Open Buying Day events continue to deliver outstanding results for our vendors and member-owners alike,” says vice president of merchandising Jason Stofleth. “It provides vendors with opportunities to efficiently and effectively share their products with thousands of independent business owners around the world, thanks to our extensive distribution network. Additionally, discovering these new vendors and innovative products plays an important role in further driving our members’ growth.”

Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas, and next year’s fall market will be held September 6-9, 2024, at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis.
