Brands We’ve Worked With

From health and beauty to home and garden. Brands we have worked with across our distribution and retail network.

Why partner with us

Distribution meets retail insight

Most distributors ship and walk away. We stock the shelves ourselves.

We see what sells before we commit

We run both distribution and retail stores. Before we take on a brand, we check it against what actually moves on our own shelves, not just market reports.

Coverage in Ontario, BC and Oregon

We have fulfillment and retail locations in Ontario, British Columbia and Hillsboro, Oregon. If you need North American coverage, the infrastructure is already in place.

We stock it, not just ship it

Most distributors hand your product to a third-party retailer and move on. We place it in stores we operate, so we control how it sits on shelf and what support it gets.

Beyond the shelf

We also help protect and grow your brand online

Placement is only half the picture. For the brands we distribute, our online team keeps marketplace listings clean, pricing protected and sales compounding, alongside your physical retail presence, not instead of it.

How it works

Getting started is straightforward

We keep the process simple so we can focus on placing your product.

01

Tell us about your brand

Reach out with your product category and where you want to sell. We get back to every enquiry.

02

Real-shelf evaluation

We look at your product in actual retail environments, not spreadsheets. Category fit, how it moves, and whether it makes sense long term.

03

We grow it together

Once we commit, we place, stock and support your product across our distribution and retail network in Canada and the US.

Evaluating a product on a real retail shelf
What we do

Categories we work with

We have real category experience across these lines, not just logistics.

Health & Beauty

OTC, skincare and personal care. We know which retail and wholesale channels move these categories and we place where it makes sense.

Home & Cleaning

Everyday household and cleaning products. We get them into channels where they sell consistently and keep supply going.

Garden & Hydroponics

Where we started. Fertilizers, soil, growing systems for both hobby and professional use.

Professional & Commercial

Salon supplies, janitorial products and trade-focused goods. We connect them to the right buyers.

Wholesale & Retail

We work with retailers and distributors across North America and run our own stores. We know what moves and how to support it.

Pet Care & Specialty

Pet care and niche consumer products where supply reliability is the main challenge. We help brands find the right wholesale connections.

About us

Who We Are

We started in Toronto in 2012 as a consumer goods distributor. Today we run fulfillment and retail locations in Ontario, BC and Hillsboro, Oregon.

Because we operate the stores ourselves, we see which products actually move and which ones quietly stop selling. That shapes what we carry and how we support it.

Who we work with

Built for brands ready to grow in North America

We focus on long-term partnerships. Here is an honest look at where we add the most value.

Great fit
  • Consumer goods brand entering or growing in North America

  • Operating in health and beauty, home, cleaning, garden, hydroponics, pet care or specialty
  • Ready to sell consistently in volume
  • Looking for a long-term distribution partner, not a one-off order
Might not be right
  • Food, beverage or pharmaceutical products
  • E-commerce or direct-to-consumer only, with no interest in physical retail
  • Early-stage prototype with no sell-through history
  • Need shelf placement within weeks with no evaluation period
  • Looking only for a short-term broker, agent or single-channel rep
FAQ

Questions Brands Often Ask Us

Do you work with brands directly?

Yes. We work directly with brands, suppliers and manufacturers as a distribution and retail partner.

Both. We have fulfillment in Hillsboro, Oregon and support brands distributing in Canada and the US in both directions.

Can you help us get into retail stores?

In some cases, yes. We work with retail partners and can help place products where it makes sense. We focus on long-term sell-through, not quick placement.

Do you write about products or feature them?

We write independent product and category content based on our distribution experience. We keep it unbiased. If you want us to look at your product, reach out.

What categories do you usually work with?

Health and Beauty, Home, Cleaning, Garden, Hydroponics, Pet Care and other consumer products with consistent retail demand.

Do you also help with online and marketplace presence?
