It's Hardware Store All Star season

HBSDealer is gearing up for its sixth annual Hardware Store All Star season.

But first, we need nominations. For those of you who aren't familiar with the process, our Hardware Store All Star special report will recognize one store from each state in the May issue of HBSDealer.

The editors of HBSDealer will recognize hardware stores, lumberyards and farm-and-ranch retailers that excel at some aspect of the retail business. The honorees aren’t always the biggest stores in their market, but they all connect with their communities in interesting ways and show a willingness to innovate and adapt.

Please send your nominations to [email protected] by April 5 to ensure consideration.
