Imagine $100K for a lucky independent retailer

The National Hardware Show, coming to Las Vegas May 9-11, has a question for independent retailers: What would you do to improve your store with $100,000?

And that’s not all. The National Hardware Show’s Reimagine Retail contest will give away $100,000 to the winner.

To enter, eligible independent retailers must submit a 500 word (or less) essay that answers the question: What would you do to improve your store with $100,000?

The contest focuses on projects from the following business improvement areas: store design, technology, employees and products.

The National Hardware Show is continuing to accept nominations for its Reimangine Retail program through March 24.

Finalists will be provided transportation and hotel accommodations at the show, and the winner will be announced and awarded the grand prize of $100,000 during the show — on Wednesday, May 10.
