“We are having an incredible number of inquiries about our group from the southeast, and we want to have a dedicated sales manager in the region to grow our membership here,” said Ryan Dunn, the buying group’s director of sales.

“Joe was our first choice for the position because of the tremendous success he has had growing memberships and servicing retailers in Wisconsin and Minnesota. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the newly developed region, and we expect the southeast to become our fastest growing area of the country.”
