What’s In a Name? VGM Club Is Now ClubProcure
LINDSEY CHRISTENSEN
ClubProcure (formerly VGM Club Canada)
The new year is bringing more
than just the start of a new
decade, it’s also bringing an
exciting turning of the page for
VGM Club Canada. We have a
new name! Beginning January 1,
2020, VGM Club Canada will
be known as ClubProcure, A
Foodbuy Company.
This change highlights the
connection to our new parent
company, Foodbuy, who
acquired VGM Club at the
beginning of 2019. The updated
name better represents us as
the leading group purchasing
organization for the private
club and golf course industry –
communicating an unmatched
organization with global scale
and the ability to address the
challenges facing customers.
“Our new name — ClubProcure
— speaks for itself; precisely
explaining what we are here to
do and who we are here to serve,”
said Jason Stewart, Director of
Sales & Business Development
for ClubProcure Canada. “The
inclusion of the Foodbuy name is
a nod to the breadth and depth of
everything we can now provide
culinary teams at private clubs and
golf courses across Canada.”
As ever, our offerings extend
beyond just the food. While
Foodbuy’s scope of rebatable
F&B SKUs is beyond reproach,
ClubProcure still maintains the
same great
supplier partners
outside the kitchen.
From rebate allowances
on John Deere Golf course
equipment, to contracted
pricing on linens, smallwares,
fixtures, furniture and equipment,
we pride ourselves on partnering
with industry-leading non-food
suppliers to round out our
vendor portfolio.
ClubProcure will of course still
remain a Corporate Sponsor of
the CSCM. We continue to be
strongly committed to supporting
the Society both financially as well
as with our attendance of regional
and national events.
While our name and look are
changing, we are still the same
friendly faces committed to
serving you each and every day.
“The ClubProcure name is an
exciting way for us to move
forward,” said Jason Stewart.
“Our future is bright with Foodbuy
and we are thrilled to be able to
offer our clients more value and
leverage than ever before.”
Serving social clubs throughout Canada
since 2003, ClubProcure, formerly VGM
Club, offers clients discounted pricing and
rebates on a wide variety of products. A
number of vendors are available through
its network of manufacturers and
distributors. Enrollment with ClubProcure
is complimentary for CSCM members.
