The business started with the Booth’s family grocery store in Dandenong.
Discovering a gap to call on retailers offering a range of confectionery, the business was soon renamed Terry and Vics.
From those humble beginnings, in April 2026 Accredited Distributors will celebrate 50 years in business.
The business has now grown to include four branches across Victoria, Albury, Bendigo, Geelong and Dandenong.
Collectively servicing over 8000 customers across the community and employing over 200 staff.
Our annual Trade Show is the talk of the industry bringing customers, suppliers and Accredited Distributors staff together.
This is an opportunity for suppliers to showcase their new products & offer hot priced deals to those attending.
Accredited Distributors are now part of the Distributor Group, Australia’s leading national independent convenience wholesaler and distributing to petrol, convenience, corner stores, pharmacy, newsagents, schools and the route market.
We specialise in the sales and distribution of beverages, confectionery, snackfoods and grocery lines.
The current business owners, Craig Bain & Stuart Hobbs, look forward to celebrating the business’s 50th year of operation.
For further information about our upcoming Trade Show, please refer to the attached flyer.
We look forward to seeing as many of our loyal and special customers at Trade Show 2026.
