Press Release Summary: DirectBuy of Greater Vancouver, the leading members-only
showroom and home design center that offers merchandise at manufacturer-direct
prices, recently hired Pamela Capitulo as Kitchen Designer.

Press Release Body: VANCOUVER, COQUITLAM, VICTORIA, AND OKANAGAN, BC...
Capitulo is a certified interior designer from British Columbia Institute of
Technology. She started with DirectBuy of Greater Vancouver in July.

"Pamela is an absolutely wonderful addition to our staff. She's a very talented
designer and has a great way with the customers," said Peter Ruetz, owner of
DirectBuy of Greater Vancouver. "Having an additional full-time designer on staff
on-site gives members a resource to get answers to their questions and has
dramatically improved the turnaround in getting a design to our members."

The types of kitchen designs requested by members can range from traditional to
modern. Said Capitulo, "The members I've worked with aren't afraid to be a little
adventurous with their kitchen designs, creatively utilizing the space with things
like warming drawers, multiple dishwashers, a regular fridge and a wine fridge, etc.
As a designer, that gives you a chance to let your hair down and that's when you can
really do your best work."

Since 1971, DirectBuy franchises have offered members the opportunity to enjoy
enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and
outdoor products and accessories by buying wholesale, directly from the
manufacturer. With four convenient locations in the greater Vancouver area
(Victoria, Vancouver, Coquitlam, and Kelowna), consumers can enjoy a comfortable,
country-club setting, where they finally have the financial control of buying
direct.
