The North American Retail Hardware Association is accepting nominations for the 19th annual Young Retailer of the Year awards, a program that recognizes the industry’s next generation of leading independent home improvement retailers.
From today through Feb. 27, NRHA will accept nominations for retailers ages 35 years and younger who live in the U.S. or Canada. Young retailers can be nominated in three categories, which are stores with annual sales under $2 million, stores with annual sales over $2 million and retailers operating multiple stores.
In each of these retail categories, winners are chosen based on criteria such as career accomplishments, community involvement, hardware industry education and extracurricular activities.
Winners will receive industry-wide recognition, a trip for two to the NRHA All-Industry Conference at the National Hardware Show® in Las Vegas, a featured article in Hardware Retailing magazine and an opportunity to win a scholarship to NRHA’s Retail Management Certification Program.
