True Value Company

As we all adjust back to regular life after an incredible Market, our CEO Dan Starr had this to say: “We are here to empower the independent home improvement channel, and that’s what this Market was – more retailers, more dealers, more members here than in our entire history. We’re so thrilled that we had such a powerful time together.” Our teams are proud to have served our retailers for decades, and it was magical to be back in person to cement this new path toward a strong, successful future. Save the date for September 5-8 for our Fall Market in Indianapolis! #SpringMarket2025 #Market2025 #hardware #homeimprovement
