Corporate Philosophy and Objectives

“to provide quality name-brand goods at the lowest possible initial cost; and develop total merchandising, operational and promotional programs to assist United Hardware’s dealers in becoming more successful."



We achieve our objectives through sound business principles that first and foremost benefit our dealers. As an example, being independently-owned, our dealers set their own margins and prices.  And, as part of our commitment to ensure dealers the lowest cost of goods, we are a member of $2.2 billion buying group, Distribution America.

Service to individual members and customers is the focus of the entire staff.  United Hardware dealers have access to experts in a host of service support fields. These include; retail accounting, purchasing, store design and setup, variable pricing, point-of-sale computers, marketing programs, retail store operations, advertising and merchandising.
