Orgill is hosting its two-day Grow Your Way event at the company’s 553,000-square-foot Innovation Center in Collierville, Tennessee, bringing current and prospective customers together with manufacturers and industry partners. The event combines product discovery, purchasing programs, business services and education aimed at helping independent hardware retailers develop growth plans suited to their operations.
Organized around the theme “Your business. Your opportunities. Your way,” the event gives attendees access to three fully merchandised model stores, where retailers can review product assortments and merchandising approaches. They can also meet representatives from nearly 50 vendors with permanent exhibits at the Innovation Center. Manufacturers named in the report include 3M, Makita, Milwaukee Tool, Moen, National Hardware, Oatey, Rheem, Rust-Oleum, Sherwin-Williams/Valspar and Stanley Black & Decker.
The event coincides with Orgill’s Winter Online Buying Event, which the report says runs Nov. 2–15. Purchasing programs include Door Busters, Power Buys, a New Item Showcase, 2027 Spring/Summer Booking and Spring Is Here programs. A separate Private Brand Showcase presents products from several categories. The report does not state how many attendees are expected, how many retailers have placed orders or whether the event has produced sales results.
Retailers can also meet specialists in store technology, marketing, merchandising and operations. The listed technology options include electronic shelf labels, e-commerce tools, electronic data interchange and digital product information. Other services cover signage, branding, customer loyalty programs, store planning and conversions, market research, demographics and pricing. Orgill is joined by industry partners including the North American Hardware and Paint Association and Cleveland Research, which are providing educational resources and market intelligence.
Services Beyond Product Buying
The event’s format puts business support alongside buying opportunities. Independent hardware retailers can compare products while also discussing areas such as pricing, store technology, marketing and financial performance with Orgill specialists and other businesses. That pairing may help owners evaluate how purchasing decisions fit broader operational needs; the source does not report measured outcomes from the event.
For suppliers, the gathering offers a chance to meet retailers through permanent exhibits and event programming. For retailers, the presentations and peer discussions provide opportunities to hear how others have applied Orgill’s resources. The event’s practical value will depend on whether attendees can turn those conversations into plans suited to their stores and local markets.

Orgill’s Shift in Event Timing
Grow Your Way reflects a change in how Orgill schedules live events. President and CEO Boyden Moore said the company is moving away from concentrating activity in a traditional twice-yearly spring and fall pattern and toward multiple buying events timed more closely to retail purchasing cycles, alongside targeted gatherings focused on specific business needs.
The company says this approach gives it more flexibility to address retailer priorities throughout the year. The two-day program itself is structured around those needs: its first day covers assortment development, pricing, merchandising and marketing, while the second focuses on financial and operational performance, including material drawn from the North American Hardware and Paint Association’s recent Cost of Doing Business Study.
““That’s why we designed the Grow Your Way event to serve as a foundational platform for retailers to work with the Orgill team, our vendors and one another to really focus on how they can grow their operations.””
— Boyden Moore, Orgill president and CEO
