MC Sports recognized Pelican International as the Hardlines Vendor of the Year and
Implus Corporation as the Softlines Vendor of the Year.

Kelly Woolsey, executive director of sales, accepted the award for
Pelican International and Drew Davies, manager-national sales accepted
the award for Implus Corporation.
While the winners of our Vendor of
the Year Awards are heavily weighted towards performance, our Vendor
Rep of the Year Awards also consider the importance of partnership and
recognize individuals who have gone the extra mile in protecting not
only the vendors they sell for, but the retailers they sell to. For
2014, the Vendor Rep of the Year Award winners are Ron Isaacs of Jef
World of Golf for the hardgoods division and Todd Dufford of
Perrin-New Agenda for the softlines division.
“Pelican International
and Mr. Isaacs with Jef World of Golf both played important roles in
helping us achieve our 2014 goals,” noted Scott Schuette, Hardlines
Divisional Merchandise Manager for MC Sports. “It’s a tremendous benefit
to be associated with manufacturers and representatives who are
committed to our success. Both winners worked hard to drive results and
help MC Sports achieve a best in class retail experience for our
customers.”
“Staying on top of the hot team or the latest trend is
important to our success,” noted Mark Lundvick, softlines divisional merchandise manager for MC Sports. “Both Implus Corporation and Todd
Dufford of Perrin-New Agenda were instrumental in driving significant
improvements in our business for 2014. With their help, we were better
equipped to react to changing trends and consumer demand.”
“We are
grateful for all our vendor and vendor rep partners,” stated Dan
Winchester, Chief Operations Officer for MC Sports. “We are fortunate to
have vendors like Pelican International and Implus Corporation and reps
like Mr. Isaacs and Mr. Dufford who go above and beyond what’s needed
to support our company.”
