HDW Announces Territory Expansion at 2014 Fall Market

Hardware Distribution Warehouses, Inc. CEO and President Kenneth R. Beauvais announced recently that HDW will be expanding their wholesale services into the Florida panhandle beginning Sept. 1 of this year.

“In addition to our recent expansion into Northwest Texas, we have made the decision to extend our service area into the Florida panhandle. This expansion will result in additional opportunities for our employee owned company,” says Beauvais.

The announcement was made at the company’s 2014 Fall Market, which was held Aug. 8-10 in Shreveport, Louisiana at the Shreveport Convention Center.

HDW dealers, vendors and associates filled the Shreveport Convention Center for the three-day event. Beauvais stated that “preliminary sales results from the recent market show an increase of over 15 percent from the previous market.”

“We continue to see growth opportunities as our dealers are reporting increases in their business throughout our mid-south region to date,” says Beauvais.

Retailers in attendance took advantage of special purchases, educational seminars, new product information, advertising programs and over 300 vendors in attendance.

Over $50,000 was awarded in prize money during the market.

HDW also announced it will be holding its upcoming Spring Market in Jackson, Mississippi. The event will be held Jan. 23-25, 2015 at the Jackson Convention Complex.
