Great news for Central Stores customers! Say “Goodbye” to markup and “Hello” to lower prices! The 12% mark-up on in-stock items and the 6% mark-up on special orders items has been eliminated. All Central Stores stock and special order products are available to you at cost.
Historically, the mark-up funded Central Stores operations which will now be covered by Central resources so that departments will only pay the direct cost of goods. All of those savings, approximately $400,000 per year, will be passed on to the departments purchasing items from Central Stores. As always, fast, convenient delivery is included in the cost.
Central Stores offers a wide variety of items that are purchased at the lowest prices available. Frequently ordered products include office supplies, laboratory items, maintenance materials, and safety goods.
