What do you have to do to be a Warrior dealer? Do you actually have to own a store? Does anybody know anything on being a Warrior dealer? Any tips will help.

EDIT: Is anyone a Warrior dealer that can hook me up?

you need to own a store that sells lacrosse stuff, and you need to have a commerical address. You cant run it out of your garage. You need to call them and open and account. however, they are not opening any new accounts at this time. They can not keep up with the demand of their existing accounts, so any new stores get screwed. i know, thats why we dont sell warrior stuff.

Its not going to be easy to get a Warrior, Brine, or STX account, especially if there is a store in the area already. They like to protect an existing dealer's territory.

You work for store that doesn't carry Warrior? Thats got to be pretty tough for business. What store?

my store is in central NJ, we just opened in august. Brine, STX, GaBeer, and Harrow(especially Harrow) all were extremely cooperative when we called to open accounts.

We called warrior multiple times, and after not getting through twice, we were told rather curtly, that they are not opening any new accounts till the summer.

Buisness wise, its not that bad, because we made a killing in Feb. The local HS just got a new team, and they brought all of our stuff. Plus, i push the Harrows, because they are a great company, always send us what we need Express, and their service is unequalled

the local store here is an "Authorized Warrior Dealer" Basically they have everything warrior and then random heads/shafts/and gear which aren't necessarily bad things. They also have a sticker saying authorized warrior dealer.

Harrow isn't a great friend to retailers because they sell direct. If your store is serious about retailing I would suggest dropping them as a brand and focusing on the brands that support retailers, ie everyone else.

Warrior is going to be key for your business so I'd do what you can to get their account. Its a sad day when a customer walks into your shop and walks out looking for a razor pro and criss cross shaft.

Our middle school coach sells warrior heads with RP's out of his trunk.
