Wigwam Awarded "Vendor of the Year" Award

Vendor of the YearWigwam recently was presented with the Sports Inc's. "Vendor of the Year" award. The company stood out among 300 of Sport's Inc's. best suppliers as the best of the best for product quality, on time delivery, commitment to excellence in Customer Service and Credit departments, and certainly Wigwam's sales representatives' selling efforts at retail. The Sports Inc. member group of 250 stores gave a standing ovation at the presentation and the trade show booth was very busy with well wishers, both members and other manufacturers. Wigwam's eastern regional sales manager, Chuck Toal, received a beautiful plaque for Wigwam's recognition and it will proudly be put on display at the company headquarters in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. 

Sports Inc. noted that Wigwam Mills has been a long-time supporter of Sports, Inc.’s independent dealers, working closely with Sports, Inc. staff to implement profitable programs. Wigwam also earned high marks from all departments at the Sports, Inc. headquarters office for ease of doing business.


“Chuck Toal and Jim Einhauser have really made this relationship a collaborative effort,” said Sports, Inc. Footwear & Apparel Marketing Director Travis Elam. “Independent dealers and the customers who shop at their stores appreciate Wigwam’s commitment to USA Made products. Corporately, Wigwam is a fantastic business partner, and they continue to support our dealers with programs that help them remain profitable.”


Thanks to everyone for helping to make it happen.
