WATERLOO, Iowa – VGM Club announced today details for their exhibitor’s booth at this year’s Hawaii Lodging, Hospitality & Foodservice Expo that will be held July 10 and 11 at the Neal Blaisdell Center in Honolulu. They also announced a strategic partnership that will launch at the expo as well.
VGM Club announced a strategic alliance with Hansen Distribution Group (HDG), the leading independent, locally owned broadline distributor to service member clubs and facilities throughout the state of Hawaii.
“After thoroughly researching all of the options available in Hawaii, we felt Hansen Distribution was the best fit for our members” commented D. Jay Ellis, President of VGM Club, Resorts and Gaming. “Hansen’s culture strives to provide customers with the most reliable, dedicated service possible and that is exactly what we believe in” added Ellis.
Hansen customers, who are also members of VGM Club, will have access to national contracted pricing as well as volume allowances from over 300 well known food and non-food manufacturers.
“VGM Club is dedicating additional expertise and resources to grow their business in Hawaii and we are excited to be part of that growth” said Von Petrossian, Senior Vice President with HDG.
Hansen Distribution houses products ranging from groceries to paper products to dry and frozen goods. They carry over 20,000 line items from more than 300+ major manufacturers. Hansen is located in Pearl City, on the island of Oahu, where they have over 100,000 square feet of products. “Another advantage for VGM Club members is the variety of goods we carry in addition to food that will also be available to their members throughout all of the Hawaiian Islands” added Petrossian.
Current and interested VGM Club members can learn more about this historic partnership during the Hawaii Lodging, Hospitality & Foodservice Expo at booth #553. VGM Club representatives Shane Doherty and Dean Uribe will be in attendance to answer any questions or inquiries.
“We pride ourselves on developing long-lasting meaningful relationships for our members as well as our supplier partners. We genuinely look forward to working with everyone at Hansen,” added Ellis. “We know this will be a beneficial partnership for our current and soon-to-be members in Hawaii.”
