Outstanding Retailer Award entries are due six weeks today

Hardlines is calling for entries, which are due June 13, 2025, for the 33rd Outstanding Retailer Awards (ORAs).

The ORAs are the only national awards program in Canada recognizing hardware, LBM, and paint retailers across all banners. Awards are presented in at least seven categories, including Young Retailer of the Year and Marc Robichaud Community Leader.

Winners get to attend the Hardlines Conference as our guests, including the Outstanding Retailer Awards Gala, where they will be honoured in front of the entire industry. Winners will also receive marketing materials including a write-up in Hardlines Home Improvement Quarterly magazine.
