The Home Building Centre in Lindsay has been named Home Hardware Stores Limited’s best home building centre in central Canada.
The recognition came at the Canadian home improvement retailer’s annual Proud of My Home Achievement Awards in Toronto on Wednesday (September 10).
The Home Building Centre at 220 Lindsay Street South in Lindsay was one of 18 stores across Canada recognized with a Proud of My Home Achievement Award. To receive an award, dealer-owners must demonstrate excellence in customer service, staff performance, store presentation inside and out, and active participation within their communities.
“This award is as much a reflection of the Lindsay community as it is of our store,” said Frank Geerlinks in a media release.
Geerlinks is one of the three dealer-owners at the store, along with Steve Gynane and Harry Morrison.
“What we value most as dealers is the opportunity to serve and support our community each day. Our team takes pride in going above and beyond for our customers, and it’s their energy, expertise, and loyalty that make our store a trusted part of Lindsay,” Geerlinks added. “We’re honoured to share this recognition with our staff and with the community we’re proud to call home.”
Founded over 60 years ago in St. Jacobs, Ontario, Home Hardware Stores Limited is Canadian and the country’s largest dealer-owned and operated home improvement retailer, with more than 1,000 stores operating under the Home Hardware, Home Building Centre, Home Hardware Building Centre, and Home Furniture banners.
“On behalf of everyone at Home Hardware Stores Limited, I’d like to congratulate Frank, Steve, and Harry on this well-deserved recognition,” said John Weatherall, Home Hardware Stores Limited’s territory manager for central retail operations.
“A commitment to quality customer service and community service is not possible without the dedication of a hardworking team, and these three men have shown that their Lindsay staff are among the most dedicated in our network. We thank you for your hard work and look forward to what the future holds.”
