Preferred Supplier
List
buyers’ guide | 3
As the new President of BC’s Alliance of Beverage Licensees, it gives me great pleasure to introduce ABLE BC’s 2018 Buyers’ Guide, featuring our list of preferred industry suppliers.
ABLE BC is the advocacy organization representing British Columbia’s private liquor industry. Our membership includes private liquor stores, pubs, bars, nightclubs, hotel liquor licensees as well as various agents, industry suppliers, and benefit providers. On behalf of our over 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 and 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 we do and are clearly invested in our industry’s long-term success. Over the past year, ABLE BC has worked tirelessly to protect the small liquor businesses in your communities, address business irritants, and enhance private sector business opportunities.
Preferred Pricing for ABLE BC Members
All ABLE BC members get exclusive access to our preferred suppliers’ special pricing and discounts, providing excellent value to our members. You can find more details throughout the Buyers’ Guide or by contacting suppliers directly.

Our annual membership fee for associates (industry suppliers, service providers, manufacturers, agents) is $420.
