Castle Building Centres Group Limited (Castle) is the oldest Canadian-based, cooperatively owned buying group of lumber and building materials. As a member of Castle, a store has the access to volume pricing and rebates. Castle also offers its members a menu of programs to which they can opt in or out based on their own needs; inventory, advertising and service programs are not made mandatory by the central office. The members of the group are known as shareholders to reflect their cooperative association. Castle also produces the Contractor Advantage, a magazine published bi-monthly and distributed nationally. Articles in the magazine are specifically geared toward products, trends and the business side of contracting. == Banners == Castle members do not necessarily fly a 'Castle' branded banner, as the store owners are truly independent and can choose to fly any non-competitive banner. Many stores do not even have a brand associated directly with the name of their store, opting for something more familiar in their market. Some banners that are in use today include: * Castle * Tru-Value * Do-It Best * Ace Hardware * Pro Hardware Recently, more stores have been adopting the Castle banner. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Castle Building Centres Group」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
