Allied Building Products Corp. continues to bring more to the table for their contractor customers by expanding their Contractor Tool Center (CTC) program. The newest location was recently unveiled in Cleveland, Ohio. Following the completion of the 5,240-square-foot Contractor Tool Center showroom, District Manager George Botoulas and the Cleveland team invited their customers in to check out the new merchandise with a Grand Opening celebration. The CTC locations feature an expanded array of products, and many of the tool vendors, including DeWalt, Black Rhino and Milwaukee, were on hand to answer questions and demo their products. Rick Rominger, national manager of the Contractor Tool Center and the entire CTC staff were also in attendance, assisting with the day’s events and answering questions about the new showroom.
“Historically we have offered only the base items in tools, safety, and accessories. With our new Contractor Tool Center format, we have developed an expanded offering designed specifically for our customers and the professional. We’ve added several hundred items with information collected from our research and communications with our customers, creating a very large expanded product offering. It creates a one-stop shop for our customers versus three or four. In a sense it rivals the home center for the contractor,” said Rominger.
