WORLD HEADQUARTERS, TORONTO, January 6, 2014 —

HARDLINES has been a source of breaking news for vendors and retailers, news services, and competing publications for almost 20 years. But until now past issues have been reserved for paid subscribers of the weekly HARDLINES e-newsletter. Effective immediately, past issues, starting one year ago from the present date, are available on www.hardlines.ca, all the way back to 2000. The rise of the big box, the consolidation of the industry, and evolution of buying groups are just some of the historic threads that can be traced through this rich trove of home improvement journalism.

The newly released Hardlines Archives and an enhanced Daily News Service are fully searchable and categorized chronologically for easy viewing. It’s all part of a new design for the Hardlines website, making it easier to navigate and providing archives of both our Daily News and weekly e-newsletter. Other features include easy access to free samples of all our publications, every issue of HHIQ magazine, a full calendar of industry events, Classified Ads, and Hardlines TV. The enhanced site also features innovative new advertising opportunities for retail and vendor companies.

The release of the Hardlines Archives and the enhanced Daily News Service, plus a library of digital magazines and a proprietary range of conferences and special reports are all ways that Hardlines is connecting the Canadian hardware/home improvement industry.
