Hardware Retailing The Industry's Source for Insights and Information
A new year is right around the corner. As you reflect on the past year and think about what you hope to accomplish in 2016, ask yourself, “What are my business resolutions for the new year?”
We asked a few of our past Young Retailer of the Year honorees, and we’ve shared some answers below.
“My personal resolution for the new year is to get our True Value Rental program up and running like a well-oiled machine. Since our (Destination True Value) remodel in 2014, we have been planning to include rental equipment as an addendum to our existing business. Currently we are finalizing our plans, and we are super excited for the addition! However, we are even more excited to see how this will contribute to the overall success of Burney True Value Hardware.”

“To be honest, I don’t like resolutions. Next year, we will be working on goals rather than resolutions. Some of those goals will be to hit some sales numbers we’ve set up for both of our stores and to be more involved in the communities we are in, in a positive manner. We will set up individual goals with each manager, too.”
— Blake Burgess (Young Retailer of the Year 2014), York Ace Hardware, York, Nebraska
