We have more distributors and retailers carrying BlueStar than ever before, our bluestar2016.wpengine.com website has been re-launched to include more product information for our customers, and we have several exciting partnerships in development. And as our new products demonstrate, BlueStar continues to innovate, while staying true to our heritage as a commercial-style gas range,” said Keith Wolf, BlueStar’s Vice President of Marketing.
