GARDEN CENTERS
Home & Garden Showplace is True Value’s garden center business unit. Since 1989, we have become one of the premier buying and business services providers in the garden center industry. We have developed programs that work for any size independent garden center. Not only do we provide excellent support to traditional brick-and-mortar garden centers, we also provide the same retail and business support to professional landscapers and retail growers. Our partnerships with leading garden center vendors allow our customers to stock their landscape supply or growing facility with the tools and equipment to be successful.
INTERNATIONAL STORES
What do Saudi Arabia, Bolivia and Thailand all have in common? They are just a few of the over 60 countries around the world that True Value stores call home. Beginning with our first international retailer in 1973, our business has expanded to include over 400 different locations. Our members are interested in all facets of the hardware business, including those that are outside the typical categories, like lumber, building materials and housewares.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
- Assistance with determining products needed to efficiently fill a container to best utilize the space and container size needed.
- Coordinate the shipment of product from factory to either port of entry or port of discharge.
- Perform a pre-ship inspection on all orders to ensure product quality prior to leaving factory at no additional charge to the retailer.
RENTAL SERVICES
When we acquired our rental division in 1984, True Value became the first national hardware wholesaler to focus on the profit potential of the rental industry. Since then, we have continued to offer independent rental dealers substantial buying power and unique vendor programs specific to rental operations. As a leader in the general equipment industry, our rental division has a positive vision for the future. We strive to expand and enhance the experience of independent rental dealers through our commitment to outstanding customer service and superior product offerings.
