Combined Do it Best, True Value Spring Market Set for Orlando

Do it Best will combine its spring market with True Value for the first time, creating the largest buying event in the co-op’s history. Scheduled for March 21-23, 2025, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, the event will bring together independent retailers from both companies in an unprecedented industry gathering.

With the theme “Bigger. Stronger. Faster.” this market will be the first unified gathering of Do it Best and True Value retailers since Do it Best’s acquisition of True Value, which was completed on November 22. The combined event will provide expanded opportunities for retailers to network, access vendor deals, and prepare for the year ahead, according to a press release from Do it Best.

“We’re proud to host this event as a celebration of the combined strength of Do it Best and True Value,” said Dan Starr, CEO of Do it Best. “It’s a significant step forward as we continue to integrate and grow together.”

Expanded Opportunities for Retailers

The event will feature more than 1,100 vendors, which is a record for a Do it Best market. These vendors will showcase new products and offer exclusive deals for member-owners and retailers.

“This market is designed to help our members and retailers strengthen their businesses through the best products, the best deals, and the best partnerships,” said Jason Stofleth, vice president of merchandising for Do it Best.

Justin Hanford, vice president of merchandising for True Value, encouraged participation from True Value retailers. “This is an unmatched opportunity to see what’s new and connect with vendors. It’s an event you can’t afford to miss.”
