Do you have a supply chain strategy to keep your company safe in the coming months? Let us eliminate the stress in your life to search for these key items.
We’re recommending every company to review their cleaning product needs and develop a 3-month strategy. Then in 2 months review this strategy and create another 3-month plan. Inventory on most cleaning products has been drained from the supply channel. Building inventory is happening and some items will not be seen for 2-3 months. We can help you create a strategy to supply your critical cleaning product needs including Hand Sanitizer, Nitrile Gloves, Paper Towels, Toilet Tissue and more.

"Order Local Food Challenge"

"Join me in supporting our local restaurants in Grafton, Northbridge and Upton. I will be posting a Restaurant of the Day and challenge you to order from them. One lucky patron will be the recipient of a $25 gift card that I have purchased, to ‘thank you’ for ordering local. Keep on the lookout for a post each day! These restaurants have agreed to take part, and I believe this challenge is a way to support small, locally-owned restaurants which have supported you, I and our communities through so much."
