Meet the 2023 STIHL Hardware All Stars: Mo., Mont., Neb.
Here are the next three in the latest class of STIHL 2023 Hardware Store All Stars that represent community-oriented, customer-focused, high-performance hardware-and-building-supply retailing at its finest. From each of the 50 states, HBSDealer recognized an All-Star performer.
You can read about all 50 honorees here in the digital issue of HBSDealer. Additionally, HBSDealer.com will highlight a handful of honorees one batch at a time. This year’s superstar performers from Missouri, Montana and Nebraska are featured below.
Missouri
Scott and Angela Westhoff, husband and wife, are constantly updating and adding to their product mix. That’s why Rose Hardware is one of the top merchandised stores, and Do it Best dealers, in the region. Add to that a new store design for the old-time 5,000 square foot store, and the business has seen incredible growth in the past few years. Customers can’t miss the extensive Milwaukee display. And the Westhoffs regularly donate tools to the local fire department.
Montana
Jeff and Teri Sell serve a small Montana farm and ranch community 100 miles from the nearest big box. Harlowton’s residents are grateful to the Sells for establishing such a well-stocked depot in their out-of-the-way rural community. Stepping inside, customers are greeted with a clean and updated store carrying housewares, mattresses and building materials. The robust selection of products and other personal touches are showcased on the dealer’s Facebook page, too.
Nebraska
The name says a lot: “Builders” has everything for the pro, including elite-level design centers and a network that extends deep into Colorado. But the heart of the system is here in Kearney, with an everything-under-one-roof home center, and another roof over a drive-through lumberyard. The versatile company was founded in 1977 by Myron Andersen. His children Chad and Stacy mark the second-generation at the helm.
