Castle Partners with TSC Stores to Supply Hardlines

Castle Building Centres Group Ltd. has partnered with TSC Stores' new wholesale operating division, TSC Country Pro Services, to provide hardlines to Castle members in Ontario and Manitoba. The relationship and service area will grow beyond Ontario and Manitoba over time. Castle and TSC will provide solutions to the unique needs of the rural and suburban stores.

"We are extremely happy to have come to a commercial agreement with London, Ontario-based TSC. They are very well positioned to offer our members in Central Canada an excellent level of service and help to fulfill the hardlines needs of our members," says Castle Vice President James Jones.

"Castle members will be provided access to our online web ordering toll offering over 18,000 sku's including hardlines and TSC rural lifestyle assortments. The program will include competitive freight rates, field support, strong service levels and special offerings catered specifically to Castle. We look forward to working closely with the membership of Castle to assist in the building of their front shop profitability," says TSC Country Pro President Greg Hicks.
