Sutton Home Hardware (Sutton, ON) Dealer-Owners, Dave and Anita Haynes accepted the Best Hardware Store award for their commitment to growth and dedication to helping customers in their community. Led by a philosophy of going above and beyond for their customers, Sutton Home Hardware has built a large and strong customer base. 

Gananoque Home Hardware Building Centre (Gananoque, ON) was awarded the Best Building Supply Centre Over 25,000 Square Feet award. Led by Dealer-Owners Ken and Linda O’Connor, the store’s repeated strong sales are the result of a bold expansion strategy they undertook during a challenging economic climate in their small community. Through the expansion, the store has become the largest retailer in town – not to mention the largest Home Hardware location in the country - and has been instrumental in preserving the community’s downtown core. 

"On behalf of the Dealer-Owners at close to 1,100 Home Hardware stores across Canada, I’d like to congratulate Sutton Home Hardware and Gananoque Home Hardware Building Centre on receiving such high honours from the industry. These stores are great representatives of the Home brand."
- Terry Davis, CEO, Home Hardware Stores Limited
