I have a friend who owns a frame shop in central Florida - outside of the Orlando area. Offered me a management job with his mid-sized business. Great guy, but, very disorganized. From what I remember, he has/had about 11-12 moulding companies. If I come on board, I'd like to help narrow down the number of moulding vendors to only 3-4. He does buy some length, but, most of buying is in chops/straight cuts. What's most important from a vendor is great quality. Followed by fair pricing. Also, servicing by the rep/company is important. I know that if I ask 10 people their opinions, I'll probably get 10 responses. I'm just seeing if a pattern develops with responses. This information will help us make better decisions and avoid costly distakes.
