March 01, 2010 // Franchising.com // MERRILLVILLE, Ind., - DirectBuy Club, the home improvement and home furnishings club with direct insider prices, has its sights set on Wisconsin after the state's Assembly voted 94-2 to pass a bill designed to create new jobs and increase revenue by opening the door for buying clubs to enter the state.
"[This bill] has expanded the opportunities for DirectBuy Club to grow, and that is very exciting for our company as a whole," said Nathan Press, Franchise Relations Manager. "We've been working on this for nearly two years, and it's great to see our efforts pay off in a way that will benefit everyone."
