“Randy Eller has always been a proponent of the independent retailer. Under his leadership, CBK built its business by providing great service to independent retailers.

Randy is a dynamic leader in our industry and is now focusing his efforts on continuing to support the independent retailer through his public speaking engagements and through his consulting practice.

He calls himself a “contrarian.” While everyone else was chasing the Big Box retailers, Randy was building great relationships with independents. Randy believes that we are entering an era of the independent retailer where customers should be waited on by a friendly face, someone that ideally knows their name, and, if they are really strong retailer, they will know how to make the buying experience truly enjoyable for the customer.

In short, he is a supporter of service to the consumer, and believes that it is critical for vendors to provide excellent service to their retailers as well.

OneCoast, too, believes in the future of independent retailers, and applauds Randy’s efforts.”
