From member to regional manager

As a California-based retailer, Greg Fuller has been a respected presence at Do it Best Corp. markets for years. He’s now been hired by the co-op as regional sales and business development manager.

With 40 years of hardware industry experience, Fuller will lead a team of territory managers covering the western United States.

Fuller spent more than 35 years at Do it Best member All American Home Center in Downey, California. He joined All American as a box boy in high school in the mid-1970s, working his way up through the company until becoming CEO in 1992, a position he held for nearly 20 years.

“I am incredibly excited to join this outstanding regional team and enhance the already great service we’re providing our members,” Fuller said. “From my own experience, I know this region offers a strong base of existing members looking to grow – as well as other outstanding retailers who can benefit from the programs, products and excellent service only Do it Best Corp. can provide them. I’m eager to support our team as we continue to build on our success by helping our region’s members grow and achieve their dreams.”

In 2009 and on behalf of All American Home Center, Fuller accepted a Golden Hammer award for excellence in retailing from Home Channel News, the forerunner of HBSDealer.

In his new role, Fuller and his team will focus on helping existing Do it Best Corp. member-owners grow location sales and increase profitability, as well as recruiting potential new members to the co-op by emphasizing its industry-leading programs and services.

“Greg is extremely passionate about partnering with our members and other independent entrepreneurs to grow their business,” said Rob Schmiedel, Do it Best Corp. National Sales and Business Development Manager. “His extensive industry experience – backed by his incredible enthusiasm to help our members grow and invaluable knowledge of the region – makes him the ideal fit for this role.”
