Hardware Retailing The Industry's Source for Insights and Information
Thousands of retailers and vendors from across the world are preparing for True Value’s 2019 Fall Reunion in the company’s hometown of Chicago.
The event begins Oct. 3 and runs until Oct. 6 at McCormick Place. Like other recent Reunions, this year’s event is open to all independent home improvement retailers, regardless of affiliation.
Making a return this year is the company’s Buy With Confidence Guarantee, which “guarantees deal prices, despite government-issues tariffs—the price retailers see is the price they’ll get,” the company says in a statement.
True Value expects more than 9,000 people, including 4,000 independent retailers, will explore more than 500,000 sq. ft. of show floor, discovering attendee-only deals on thousands of new and classic products.
