Anaheim, California — True Value dealers and executives hammered home the theme of retail independence during the co-op’s 2017 Spring Reunion general session here at the Anaheim Convention Center.
While executives shared various meanings of “independence” — including the freedom to choose programs and products — retailers from Fusek’s True Value, Cornells’ Hardware and Brinkmann Hardware promoted their success stories with Customized True Blue assortments, e-commerce programs and Destination True Value.
It fell to Tim Mills, senior VP of growth, to share some of the major metrics, and he led with two co-op records achieved in 2016 — number of new ground-up stores (68), and number of remodeled stores (101).
