The
Toronto Star features
Kidscentral Supply, Toronto-based company that specializes in
wholesaling children's products. Launched in 2001 by Toronto couple
Boris and Tammy Zilberberg, the company now boasts a staff of 12, five
sales representatives and annual sales of about $4 million.
"Boris says
Kidcentral has
prospered, to a great extent, because retailing of children's products
in Canada is still a Mom and Pop business, with none of the dominant
national chains or category killers that control other lines of
merchandise."
"That means retailers rely on wholesalers like Kidcentral to identify,
source and supply them with the latest and greatest kids' stuff. It
helps that the Zilberbergs have a background as storekeepers and have
the desire to find the next great product by attending trade shows
around the world. What sets Kidcentral apart from its competitors is
the attention to detail, the quality of merchandise and customer
service, says Terry Leahy, owner of Safety Superstore, a three-store
chain of children's products in the GTA. "They keep us informed of
anything new, keep track of their clients' inventory and conduct
in-store training of staff."
