buyers’ guide | 3
As President of the Alliance of Beverage Licensees, it gives me great pleasure to introduce ABLE BC’s 2017 Buyers’ Guide, featuring our list of preferred industry suppliers.
ABLE BC is the advocacy organization representing British Columbia’s private liquor industry. We are the largest and most effective liquor industry association in BC, with membership including private liquor retailers, pubs, bars, nightclubs, and hotel liquor licensees, as well as various agents, suppliers, and
benefit providers. On behalf of our 1,000 members, we advocate for a thriving and sustainable private liquor industry.
The companies listed in our annual Buyers’ Guide are trusted leaders in our industry. They know exactly how to cater to your specific business needs. Whether you are looking for shelving, POS systems, employee benefits, or more, we strongly encourage you to consider using their products and services.
Additionally, our preferred suppliers are Associate Members of the Alliance. Associate Members support the advocacy work ABLE BC does on behalf of our membership base. Over the past year, ABLE BC has worked tirelessly to protect the small liquor businesses in your communities and enhance private sector business opportunities.
