Orgill is hosting its two-day Grow Your Way event at its Innovation Center in Collierville, Tennessee, for current and prospective customers, manufacturers and industry partners. The program combines product displays, retail services, education and purchasing opportunities, alongside Orgill’s Winter Online Buying Event.
Orgill is hosting its two-day Grow Your Way event at its 553,000-square-foot Innovation Center in Collierville, Tennessee, bringing together current and prospective customers, manufacturers and industry partners to explore ways to support retail growth. The program combines product discovery, business services, education and networking, while a separate Winter Online Buying Event runs Nov. 2–15.
Organized around the theme “Your business. Your opportunities. Your way,” the event is designed to help independent hardware retailers explore growth strategies suited to their businesses. Attendees can tour three fully merchandised model stores, compare product assortments and meet representatives from nearly 50 manufacturers with permanent exhibits at the center. Participating manufacturers 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, scheduled for Nov. 2–15. Its purchasing opportunities include Door Busters, Power Buys, a New Item Showcase, 2027 Spring/Summer Booking and Spring Is Here programs. A dedicated Private Brand Showcase features products across multiple categories. The source report does not provide attendance figures, sales results or a year for the November dates.
Retailers can also meet specialists in store technology, marketing, merchandising and business operations. Technology offerings include electronic shelf labels, e-commerce capabilities, electronic data interchange and digital product information tools. Other support areas include signage, branding, customer loyalty, store planning and conversions, market research, demographics and pricing. Educational programming includes presentations, retailer panels and peer networking, with the first day focused on assortment, pricing, merchandising and marketing, and the second on financial and operational performance.
Retail Support Beyond Product Buying
The event brings product purchasing together with operational advice and peer discussion at a time Orgill says retailers are facing economic headwinds. For independent hardware businesses, access to vendor representatives, model-store examples and specialists may help inform decisions on assortment, store presentation, technology and customer programs. Those are areas that can shape how a retailer competes, but the source report does not quantify outcomes or show that participation leads to improved sales or profitability.
The format also gives retailers opportunities to compare approaches with one another and hear practical experiences from peers. Orgill says the goal is to help customers turn available resources into actionable plans for growth; the event’s mix of education and services is intended to complement its buying programs rather than focus only on product orders.

Orgill’s Shift in Event Timing
Grow Your Way reflects Orgill’s move away from relying on a traditional schedule of two major live events each year. President and CEO Boyden Moore said the company is instead holding multiple buying events aligned more closely with retail purchasing cycles, alongside targeted gatherings focused on particular business needs. The stated rationale is that buying cycles have changed and retailers may benefit from opportunities timed to their priorities.
The event’s educational sessions include contributions from the North American Hardware and Paint Association and Cleveland Research, which are participating to provide educational resources and market intelligence. The second day includes sessions drawing on findings from NHPA’s recent Cost of Doing Business Study. The source material does not specify the study’s findings or provide additional details about the sessions’ schedules.
““The home improvement industry continues to face stubborn headwinds from the economy this year.””

Attendance and Business Results
The source report does not state how many retailers are attending, give a year for the Nov. 2–15 online event dates, or report outcomes such as orders placed, sales generated or retailer performance after the event. It also does not provide a detailed agenda, session times or information about whether the model-store displays and services will remain available after the two-day gathering.
Orgill’s statements describe the event’s purpose and the resources on offer; they are not evidence that those resources will produce specific financial results. The source material does not include independent assessments of the event’s impact.
Buying Programs Run Through November 15
The clearest upcoming date in the report is the end of Orgill’s Winter Online Buying Event on Nov. 15. Retailers can use that period to review the listed buying programs, including 2027 Spring/Summer Booking, and explore the product and private-brand displays associated with Grow Your Way. The report does not announce a later Grow Your Way event date or specify what Orgill will disclose after the gathering.
Any assessment of the event’s effect will depend on information not provided in the report, such as participation, retailer feedback and purchasing or operational outcomes. Orgill’s broader stated plan is to continue offering multiple buying events and more targeted gatherings aligned with retailer needs and purchasing cycles.
