The House-Hasson Summer Dealer Market is one of three major dealer-market events held each year that serve as key buying opportunities for independent hardware and lumberyard retailers. These gatherings give dealers access to special buys on everyday items and assortments, pallet buys on seasonal products, exhibitor specials, drop-ship and warehouse-buy programs, and coupon discounts on key SKUs — all designed to improve margins and inventory flexibility. At last year’s Rise & Shine Summertime Market, attendance and vendor participation surged, warehouse sales rose roughly 15 percent over the previous year, and store-set and merchandising support services were heavily utilized by dealers looking to refresh or upgrade their retail layouts. House-Hasson’s markets combine deep buying opportunities with merchandising support and vendor-access, offering an alternative to big-box sourcing for independent retailers.
