Testimonials

The Core-Mark Innovation Centre provides our vendor partners with a venue where their latest products, equipment, and technology are featured, and can be sampled, tested, and experienced by key Corporate and Independent Retailers. Below are some testimonials from just a few of our vendor partner sponsors of the Innovation Centre.

“Western Refrigeration has had a long relationship with Core-Mark. We are proud to say Core-Mark is a vendor partner but more than that this, a trusted friend.

Great group of people to work with. Marc, Jacquie, Duncan and others are a pleasure to work with. I appreciate their knowledge and expertise. We have been involved with many sites with Core-Mark and really appreciate the value they bring to a site. At Western we try to offer a value added to our customers when it comes to equipment recommendations and programs. Core-Mark does the same so great to have our values aligned.

As for the Innovation Center, Western Refrigeration has been involved from the beginning designs, renovations and with equipment supply and service. The cost to Western has far been out weighed by the benefit from being involved. To have a venue where we can meet with customers in a private setting and discuss solutions to their needs is a huge value to Western and I believe to the customer. I love the fact that in 4 short years, we have had 2 renovations to ensure the Innovation Center is leading edge in what it has to offer with an evolving focus on food service. I look forward to many more years of partnership with Core-Mark and am excited to see as the years go by what the center will evolve into.

Great benefit to the industry.”

“Having the opportunity to work with the Innovation Centre has done wonders for Rviita Energy Tea and I am honoured to have our products featured in this state-of-the-art facility at Core-Mark. Since working with the Innovation Centre, we have dramatically increased our brand awareness within the gas and convenience industry and have made numerous invaluable connections with retailers. The Innovation Centre has been a wonderful catalyst for our growth and making the investment has been worth every penny. Thank you so much to Duncan and the incredible team at Core-mark for providing such a beautiful space to showcase our brand. “

“The Core-Mark innovation Centre (CMIC) is a well planned, live C-Store concept providing great exposure and awareness for Innovation, brand news, and merchandising concepts. With retailer events throughout the year, we are provided with the opportunity to showcase our products with major chains and independents, discuss opportunities and answer questions, all with the end goal of obtaining new listings, distribution, and product success. With a strong lineup of innovation today and in the future, we see continued success and participation with the CMIC and look forward to working with the Core-Mark team!”
