A place for all members of the industry

By Emma Peterson. 

The Coffee Shops™ expand their offerings to include an interactive directory specifically designed for manufacturers’ representatives.  

The core mission of The Coffee Shops™ can be boiled down to being Where the Industry Meets! In other words, we are dedicated to elevating the careers and businesses of contractors through the creation of online community. Whether you need training resources or the latest industry news, we are the place to go to for support and connection. 

Further, here at The Coffee Shops, we aim to have a space for every member of the industry, whether you are a contractor, designer, distributor or a manufacturers’ representative. And the latter is what our newest initiative is all about – the Manufacturers’  
Representative Program!  

This program is centered around the launch of a full, interactive directory specifically designed with manufacturers’ representatives in mind. Heidi J. Ellsworth, president and CEO of The Coffee Shops, shared, “This program is about giving reps greater visibility and connections while building a space that supports long-term business growth.” 

Reinforcing The Coffee Shops’ dedication to serving the professionals in the contracting industry is the fact that participation in the program is FREE to any manufacturers’ representative that wants to participate. As Heidi puts it, “Manufacturers’ representatives play a critical role in connecting manufacturers, distributors and contractors and we [just really] want to provide the ecosystem where they can connect.”
