A little about us:
It all started on a fishing boat…no, really. In the spring of 1969, on a small fishing boat in Southern California, a few appliance and electronics retailers debated the possibility of pooling their purchase orders, so they could buy product for less and increase profitability. That summer, Associated Volume Buyers (AVB) was born.
Fast forward to present day, we have more than $19.5 Billion, with a capital B, in annual retail sales, over 4,500 independent members and over 8,000 stores in North America. We are member-owned, not-for-profit, the fastest growing membership of our kind and a force to be reckoned with. For us, it’s all about the members! Their growth and profitability are our passion and we pursue every opportunity to help make this ever changing and competitive business more rewarding.
We are a quick-moving, forward-thinking, industry leader – in other words, we are doing big things. We are excited to learn from you and for you to learn from us.
We have a brand-new office that includes amenities such as a stocked kitchen, unlimited beverages, wide open spaces, ping pong table and other fun activities.
