"Inaugural Retail Recognition Program Sponsored by Vermont American
Ten home improvement retailers are being honored for outstanding achievement as owners and managers of independently owned hardware and building supply stores in the United States and Canada. They are honorees in the 2009 Retail Innovators of the Year program. Sponsored by Vermont American, the program is organized by the North American Retail Hardware Association (NRHA) and Hardware Retailing magazine and is dedicated to honoring independent retailers who are setting the example for retail innovation in the home improvement industry.

"These retailers are leading the industry by example in what can be achieved by independent retailers across the home improvement industry. Their example encourages other independent retailers to continue their pursuit of excellence in hardware/home center retailing, and we applaud their efforts."
— Bill Lee, NRHA managing director and publisher of Hardware Retailing magazine

This year’s Retail Innovator Award recipients will be showcased at the upcoming NRHA Annual Convention and All-Industry Conference, which will take place July 13-15, 2009, at the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter in San Antonio, Texas. The Retail Innovator Awards program will be held on July 14, where the honorees will be recognized for their accomplishments.
