ORLANDO, Fla. (June 7, 2018) – GolfNow has expanded its Ride group purchasing program into Canada through a new partnership with Foodbuy, offering golf courses opportunities to save money and earn rebates on purchases they make every day.
“The opportunity this partnership creates for our clients in Canada is terrific,” said Mike Hendrix, vice president, GolfNow Business Services. “We are able to deliver new rebates to our clients without any disruption to their business. In most cases they are able to maintain their current broadline vendor.”
Foodbuy is the nation’s largest procurement organization supporting the food service industry in North America, with offices in Charlotte, N.C.; Toronto, Ontario; and Atlanta, Ga.
Ride continues to grow across North America, with more than 770 golf courses throughout the U.S. enrolled in the industry’s number-one group buying program. Ride offers discounts on everything from agronomy supplies and equipment to food and beverage, telephone plans, and more. Small operations, resort courses, municipalities and private-course operators all can find a wide range of savings on purchases they already make, making it easier to manage expenses and lower overall operating costs. Since its inception, the Ride group purchasing program has been free for golf courses to join and requires no minimum monthly or yearly spend.
“We are excited to be partnering with such a world class organization like GolfNow,” said Chris Delaney, senior director, Sales, Foodbuy. “At Foodbuy, we provide our clients and suppliers with the best brands at unparalleled prices and we are looking forward to tailoring a program for GolfNow that will offer their clients a best-in-class experience.”
Additional saving opportunities for Canadian GolfNow clients are offered by Staples, 3M and Waste Management through the Ride group purchasing program.
