Three Square Market Announces its' Core Group of Micro Market Distributors

HUDSON, Wis. - June 21, 2013 - PRLog -- Three Square Market announced today its' initial core group of wholesale vending equipment distributors.  Covering over 30 states, this group of distributors brings hundreds of years of expertise, credibility and relationships to growing the Three Square Market brand.  

"When we started as a company, Lieberman Companies was there to help us get off of the ground.  Nearly twenty years later, they are still our valued supplier.  When the Lieberman team and I started discussing our micro market plans, it was an immediate win-win for both of our companies to be working together" said Three Square CEO Todd Westby.  "Why re-build the wheel?  They have over one hundred years of relationships, including ours, and the resources to quickly bring our brand to their clients.  This discussion lead Lieberman Companies President Hal Liebarman coordinating an effort with his peers in other parts of the country to develop a core group ready to help build our brand to another level" added Mr. Westby.

"The vending industry is changing yet had no agent of change until Three Square came to the market" said Hal Lieberman, President of Lieberman companies. "The general public, let alone the common vending operator, is just learning what a micro market is" Lieberman added. "Three Square has changed that.  They have introduced a pricing structure that allows vending operators an ROI in a timeline they can afford.  TW Vending (the parent company of Three Square Market) has been an innovator for years in their other businesses and they are ready to launch nationwide the most cost effective and technologically advanced Micro-Market solution to the vending market" added Mr. Lieberman.  

Three Square and Lieberman worked together to develop a network of initial core distribution group.  "We trusted Hal and his team to connect us with like-mind businesses to develop this campaign.  We are confident that after weeks of planning and training, this core group will take Three Square Market to a whole new level" added Mr. Westby.
