Hardware Retailing representatives, Graeme Haase and Sara Logel, attended the Independent Garden Center Show (IGC East) in Baltimore at the beginning of August.

Haase and Logel also visited three home improvement retailers in the Baltimore area. During these visits, the two were able to see the stores’ day-to-day operations and hear about their events and community involvement.
“I really enjoyed meeting the different retailers and hearing how they got started in home improvement retailing and their stores’ histories,” Haase says. “These visits really help me understand what retailers think about on a daily basis.” Hear more about the Baltimore retailers Haase and Logel visited now!
