And the winner is: Qualheim’s True Value. The 55,000-sq.-ft. Shawano, Wis., hardware store and home center took home the highest retail honor at the 2017 True Value Spring Reunion. With 13 regional honorees of the Best Hardware Store in Town contest on the stage, Qualheim’s name was called as the national winner.
This was the second year the program selected a single national winner for the award, which evaluates stores based on appearance, product selection and competitive pricing, as well as other factors. A mystery shopping score also weighs on the selection.
