DirectBuy
DirectBuy is a membership buying service headquartered in Merrillville, Indiana.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=DirectBuy )〕 It claims that it is the largest franchiser of members-only consumer buying centers in North America. Members pay a significant fee, which then entitles them to buy merchandise "directly from the manufacturer and its authorized suppliers". Product categories include home furnishings, home improvement, entertainment & outdoor, flooring, and accessories.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Buy DirectBuy Products Direct From the Source )〕 ==History== DirectBuy was founded in 1971 in Merrillville, Indiana〔name="dbabout" /> by James L. Gagan, and the first Canadian franchise was founded in 1996. The company was incorporated as DirectBuy in 2004. United Consumers Club (UCC) remained the holding company for DirectBuy until December 19, 2007, when DirectBuy was acquired by Trivest, a private equity firm, and Allied Capital Corporation (stock symbol: ALD) with $83 million to support the buyout.〔
