You can read about all 50 honorees here in the digital issue of HBSDealer. Additionally, HBSDealer.com will highlight a handful of honorees one batch at a time. This year’s superstar performers from Arkansas, California and Colorado are featured below.
Arkansas
Serving people in the Southern Ozark Mountains since 1960, customers of this lumber and building products center know Marchant for quality and value, following them on social media. Marchant regularly posts on Facebook to keep people updated on an in-store remodel happening now. This Do it Best dealer routinely promotes local restaurants by inviting food trucks to set up in their parking lot and serve their customers.
California
Set to become part of the Citrus Heights family, Miller’s Ace is named after Sacramento’s Miller Greenfield, a 15-year-old boy with a rare neuro-degenerative disease. He participates in the community as much as he can and is even working toward his dream of becoming a police officer. Owner Jessica Greenfield says she named the store after her son because he’s so community driven, aspiring for her business to be the same.
Colorado
Their origins in Kremmling go back to owner Tim Menhennett’s great-grandfather’s livery barn from the early 1900s. Their close relationships with local businesses have been a foundation for growth, as they compete with suppliers in a community of 1,500 residents. Their staff is committed to supplying DIYers and trained pros with hardware, lumber, and tools and services. Menhennett said he “donated the old livery barn to the historical society to house a museum.”
