pricing and offer market exclusives. We are providing operational support,
business growth, and succession planning to help every member run their
business with confidence.

Our direct member growth investments amounted to more than $15 million
in the last year alone. We believe that by providing these resources and
opportunities, every member benefits from the increased volume these
growth efforts generate.

The new year holds an incredible opportunity for Do it Best members
to build on the stunning growth we collectively achieved last year.
This opportunity is fueled by expansion and acquisition. Through
our Gear Up 4 Growth initiative, we’re providing every
member, regardless of size, the opportunity to add another
location. Imagine the impact of one hundred members
expanding into a second or third store. When that
happens, we will all reap the benefits of a stronger,
even more profitable co-op.

As a Do it Best member, you never have to do it
alone. We stand ready with the financial incentives,
loans, and support to help you build, strengthen,
and expand your business. In addition, a consistently
strong return on member investment provides you the
financial strength to reinvest in your business. The best
part is, the more you focus your purchases through
Do it Best, the stronger our co-op becomes, making
your return on investment even greater.

The proof of this winning formula is demonstrated
throughout this report. You are about to read the success
stories of your fellow members who experienced how
deeply Do it Best is invested in the growth of their
businesses. I hope these stories inspire you to grow this
year — and give you the confidence to know that when
you’re ready, Do it Best is committed to help you succeed.

DAN STARR, PRESIDENT & CEO
