Filled with expert staff, thousands of top-quality products and excellent customer service, Bee-J’s can meet every need to ensure you’re as efficient as possible.

With home, business and school supply products in dozens of categories, and 38 years in business as a local staple in the community, it’s no surprise that Bee-J’s Office Plus, located at 901 103 Street, was recently voted as Best Office Supplies for the Best of the Best Awards.

With over 15,000 products on hand in the store and its 12,000 square foot warehouse, product knowledge and customer service is number one for the staff at Bee-J’s.

“That’s been our flagship is customer service. I think for me, having our staff know what they are talking about is important, so they are educated for the customer. Product knowledge and customer service are a top priority,” said co-owner Jim LaFreniere.

And keeping a business running efficiently is also a staple for Jim and the rest of the crew at Bee-J’s. With everything from custom-made office furniture, to break-room supplies, cleaning supplies, and a full-service IT department, Bee J’s understands that your business can’t be down for any reason.

“We have a lot of experience working with businesses and lots of experienced staff. A lot of the staff have been here longer than I have some for over 25 years,” said LaFreniere.

And if there is a problem with your home or commercial business, the staff at Bee-J’s will come to you to make sure you get back on track in a hurry. And the IT team is a perfect example of how the staff operate at Bee-J’s.

“We do everything from selling the computer products, to taking care of servers and maintaining those computers on an on-going basis. And if there’s a problem, we would go out and see them, because in a business especially you can’t afford to be down, so we have a team of technicians that would go onsite and fix them up. Whether you bought the computer from us or someone else, or techs will fix it for you,” explained LaFreniere.

And to make your business team even more efficient, Bee-J’s also offers an entire custom office furniture division.

If someone needs new or custom built office furniture, we will go to their location, take measurements, and give 3D rendered drawings. We have a lot of skill on the table, it’s not just layout and design of your office, but we can suggest a better layout to make your business even more efficient and cost-effective. We have a real out of the box perspective because we understand how a business runs,” added LaFreniere.

Another big category for the company is the art and academic line of products.

“We built a 70’ x 70’ addition on two floors to our building in 2010, half of which is educational supplies. We have everything from glue sticks, to glitter, to bristle board, to crayons, sharpies and more,” he said.

And the business is continuing to grow into other categories, including the personal protective equipment line for industrial businesses as well. We have everything you need in PPE, with safety glasses, dust masks eye protection, fire proof coveralls and more,” said LaFreniere.

We are growing rapidly in the cleaning and break room category. We now carry everything you need for your breakroom like coffee, tea and candies! We have all the supplies to maintain your office like Window cleaner, paper towel, toilet paper and refills for your hand sanitizer dispenser. Our goal is to provide everything you need for your office.

On top of all the great products and knowledge, the staff and owners at Bee-J’s have always believed in giving back to the community they serve.

“It’s really important to give back as a business owner. We count on the community, so we believe you have to feed the community back, you need to support the organizations and non-profits that help a community,” explained LaFreniere.
