6 | Orgill Case Study 02 BUSINESS TRANSITION A New Era for K&C Supply With a deal in place, Jim and Dana became the owners of K&C Supply in January 2021. Now that their dream of owning a store had come into focus, they set about the hard work of transitioning the business into what they had envisioned. They knew they would need to choose a distribution partner that could support them. For the Bundicks, this choice was easy. “When we purchased the store, there was an existing relationship with Buttery Hardware, a regional hardlines wholesaler,” Jim says. “They did an okay job, but we kind of inherited the relationship, and I wasn’t sure it was a good fit for us over the long term.” Jim says he was first introduced to Orgill during his time at Pate’s, and felt Orgill might be more in line with where he wanted to take the new business.
