 Having served a growing customer base in Alaska for many years, top tabletop dealer Bargreen Ellingson is making its way north to the great state of Alaska bringing a full service operation including a showroom and warehouse to Anchorage Alaska. Bargreen Ellingson President David Ellingson states “our latest facility will allow us to provide the service level we are known to the customers of Alaska” further adding that he is “excited for the opportunity to serve in a state we had been supporting from our distribution center in Fife, WA for many years.” The nearly 21,000 Sq ft. facility will feature a 5,300 Sq Ft showroom where customers will find a very broad selection of food service related products as well as disposables, janitorial supplies and equipment as well as access to services such as equipment installation, design and the local delivery; all services Bargreen Ellingson is well known for. In addition to serving the British Columbia Canada territory, the Alaska location will mark the eighth U.S. state Bargreen Ellingson serves and becomes its 21st facility. The Anchorage facility will open in early April, 2013.
The prep for our presentation at the Bargreen Ellingson Annual Foodservice Show and Meeting is underway. Couldn't be happier to be in the great Northwest again with such a group of pros.   Mark your calenders and head to Washington State! Bargreen Ellingson is having their annual show and we'll be presenting the latest tabletop trends and why they are important. Bargreen Ellingson has long been one of the America's best tabletop dealers and has been named Dealer of The Year TWICE by Food Equipment & Supplies Magazine, most recently in 2008. Remember.....tabletop matters! Here are the details: Thursday January 17th, 2013 - 10am - 4pm The Meydenbauer Center 11100 NE 6th Street Bellevue, WA 98004 Register by going here:http://www.bargreen.com/show#register TabletopJournal continues to make the point of how important branding is whether you are a restaurateur, a manufacturer.....or, a dealer. Well, one dealer who truly understands that concept is Bargreen Ellingson, located in America's great NW region. Here's a short video on the adding of the Bargreen Ellingson graphics to one of their new delivery trucks. And, remember....branding isn't just the fancy graphics you might have on your vehicles or business cards. The essence of a brand is what your customers - and potential customers - believe you to be. Your brand is not what YOU think it is....it is what THEY think it is. All the rest - the graphics, the service, the product quality, the people, and so on - simply reinforce your brand, positively or negatively. And, yes....before you ask.....we LOVE the fact that tabletop play such an intregal part of the Bargreen Ellingson truck graphics. Bargreen Ellingson - THE source for tabletop in America's Northwest! 
Bargreen Ellingson, the leading creative tabletop dealer from America's Northwest, continues to do a great job of positioning it's own brand. This time, it's with a short 2 1/2 minute video showcasing the view from behind the Bargreen Ellingson Demonstration Kitchen and Chef Bob at the recent Northwest Foodservice Show. Videos....demonstration kitchens....pretty cool music (ok, so where DO we get those CDs from Jahzzar?).....all play a part in the branding and positioning of the Bargreen Ellingson brand. Well Done. Again.  To learn more about Bargreen Ellingson, go here: http://www.bargreen.com/ 
The Snohomish County Business Journal is reporting that our favorite Northwestern U.S. tabletop house, Bargreen Ellingson, has worked with their local utility – Snohomish County Public Utility District - to install energy efficient lighting throughout its Everett, Washington showroom store. With program incentives provided by the utility, the project will pay for itself in just months and save the business nearly $2,000 annually in lighting expenses. Bargreen Ellingson....leading in more ways! Nicely done.  We talk a lot about branding and people might assume we're speaking only about tabletop products. But, we beleive the same concepts apply to restaurants, dealers & distributors, and to individual, personal brands. One brand that we like a lot is the Bargreen Ellingson brand and the things that they do to differentiate themselves from possible competitors. If you have followed TabletopJournal for any period of time, you already know that Bargreen Ellingson is the premier tabletop source in their part of the world. But the folks at Bargreen Ellingson do a lot more to service and maintain their growing customer base. One of the services they provide is in the area of design. Take a look at this new video: Now, we understand that "Design" is not necessarily tabletop and our readers come here to read and learn about tabletop. But, we're also about branding and differentiating brands. One of the ways that Bargreen Ellingson differentiates itself is by showcasing their skills and the services (through high quality videos like this one) they can provide to their customers. By doing this, they show their customers some of the additional "added value" that Bargreen Ellingson brings to the supply chain that other dealers/distributors do not. Seems to us that Bargreen Ellingson is about helping its customers be successful....whether that means providing the right products...or the right design. Nicely done, Bargreen Ellingson. Very nicely done. You can see all the great products and services that Bargreen Ellingson offers its customers by going here: http://www.bargreen.com/ |
