Alliance Game Distributors will open a Canadian division this summer, the company announced Feb. 11 via its Facebook page.
“For several years, Alliance has served the needs of many Canadian stores from our U.S. warehouse system,“ Alliance President Daniel Hirsch said. “We are truly excited by the opportunity that opening a location in Canada brings to expand our offerings north. We look forward to bringing our marketing, promotions and distribution expertise to a wider audience and to providing even better service across North America. We are working closely with our vendors to assure a high level of service and selection.”
In preparation for the opening of the new location, Alliance North, Wizards of the Coast is providing product for the upcoming Journey Into Nyx prerelease and release for Magic: The Gathering. Canadian retailers in the Wizards Play Network will be able to select Alliance as their distributor of choice for the prerelease. Alliance will provide Canadian accounts with Wizards of the Coast products from its Midwest location in the lead up to the opening of Alliance North.
