Throwback Thursday is a weekly feature in which we dip into the archives of the Hardlines Weekly Report.
In our last issue before we took a short break for the summer, 25 years ago, we reported in our May 29, 2000, issue on Revy Home Centres’ big box expansion in Toronto. “Revy has its hands full here in Toronto,” Michael McLarney quoted Carl Grittner, then-president of Revy, as saying. “We want to put stores around our competition [in the GTA], wherever they have a profitable store.” Revy would be sold to RONA just short of a year later, on July 13, 2001.
