In partnership with the National Hardware Show, the exclusive sponsor of the Top Guns Awards program and reception, the North American Hardware and Paint Association (NHPA) has chosen three exceptional retailers as Top Guns Awards honorees for 2025.
“Top Guns honorees are pillars of innovation and forward-thinking who have helped grow their businesses through strategic leadership with consideration for their communities, their teams and the industry,” says Bob Cutter, NHPA president and CEO. “Top Guns honorees exemplify what makes the independent channel great.”
As you’ll see from the stories of these retailers—Jeff Grasty from Florida Paints, Ryan Ringer from Gold Beach Lumber Yard and Hervey Wright from Home Lumber and Supply Co.—they are not only distinguished leaders in their operations, but they are leading the channel and their communities.
