Best Buy Medical Supplies

What Best Buy Medical Supplies does

Best Buy Medical Supplies Inc. is a privately held Canadian medical supply distributor founded in 2003 in Shediac, New Brunswick, initially as an ostomy care specialist and subsequently expanded into a comprehensive national distributor. The company offers more than 16,000 Health Canada-approved medical products spanning ostomy care, wound care, incontinence, urology, diabetes management, mobility aids, and clinical and diagnostic equipment, sourced through over 100 manufacturer partnerships including Coloplast, Hollister, A&D Medical, BioDerm, Ostoform, and Kane Biotech.

The company operates a B2B distribution model selling to retail pharmacies, healthcare stores, and long-term care facilities across all Canadian provinces and territories, supported by five regional warehouses (Shediac NB, Mirabel QC, Barrie ON, Calgary AB, Surrey BC) that enable 1-2 business day delivery. Its technology layer consists of a bilingual English/French online ordering portal at orders.bestbuymedical.ca with account management, credit verification, and a drop ship program that allows retail customers to fulfill orders directly to patient homes without holding inventory. Sales are generated through direct field representatives, healthcare trade shows, and co-branded educational webinars with manufacturer partners.

Revenue is generated through product markup on B2B sales under trade account pricing with credit terms, supported by an account application process including business validation, bank references, and credit limit assessment. The company is closely held with no disclosed parent company, no funding rounds, and no public listing. It employs between 100 and 150 staff under a professionalized executive team led by CEO Jamie Church, with dedicated VPs across Finance, Business Development & Partnerships, Marketing & Product Management, Retail Sales, and Regulatory Affairs & Market Access.
