DISTRIBUTORS/CO-OPS

During the True Value’s Fall Market in Philadelphia, a day spent on Retail Best Practices produced some actionable advice, according to organizers.

Some 500 True Value members attended the Retail Best Practices Conference (RBPC) and generated some actionable, take-home ideas.

Do it Best Corp. announced the soft opening of the first four Pongs Do it Best Home Centers in Jakarta, Indonesia, earlier this month.

With the openings in Indonesia, the Fort Wayne, Ind.-based co-op expanded its customer base to 50 countries.

The new director hails from Graybar, a distributor of electrical and communications products and related supply chain management and logistics services. 

The True Value retail chain has opened up shop in Yuba City, California.

The Ace Hardware Foundation and local Oakland, Calif.-area Ace retailers presented a check for $34,105 to the Children's Hospital and Research Center Oakland last month.

 At October Market, the Do it Best CEO reflects on a hardware career.

Deep experience in the roles of sales, operations, lumber and panels.

The store has earned the accolade for three consecutive years now.
