, Ace’s indirect purchasing program. The program’s participating suppliers offer steep discounts on products and services to SAVINGSource participants, including Ace stores, and also enables groups of regional stores to band together for savings on product categories like phones, waste and energy.
“As our retailers worked tirelessly to serve their communities, Office Depot was there to help service us the whole way through, so that was one less thing our retailers had to worry about,” Abu Manneh says. “Retailers had to shift suppliers, but we were able to rely on that relationship to keep us going in the office products space.”Office Depot also participates in Ace’s spring and fall trade shows, which are among the largest in the country.
“We’ll spend a week with Ace store owners doing a variety of activities, including training, learning and engaging with product [and] service vendors to help support their store,” he says. “Having a company like Office Depot that not only comes to the trade show but goes above and beyond goes a long way. They make sure that the trade show experience is as impactful as possible [for] our retailers.
“We are definitely in growth mode, and [we] are opening up stores as quickly as we can to meet the needs of our communities,” Abu Manneh says. “It’s absolutely a priority for both Ace and Office Depot to help ensure that as new investors enter the Ace family, they have the SAVINGSource program accessible to them so they can leverage it to its fullest potential.”
