Orgill is hosting a 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 and buying opportunities with retail services, education and peer networking.
Orgill is hosting its two-day Grow Your Way event at the company’s 553,000-square-foot Innovation Center in Collierville, Tennessee, bringing current and prospective customers together with manufacturers and industry partners to explore retail products, services and growth strategies. The event combines merchandise displays and purchasing opportunities with education and networking for independent hardware retailers.
Organized around the theme “Your business. Your opportunities. Your way,” the event is designed to help retailers consider growth approaches suited to their businesses. Attendees can tour three fully merchandised model stores, compare product assortments and meet representatives from nearly 50 vendors with permanent exhibits at the center. Manufacturers listed by Orgill include 3M, Makita, Milwaukee Tool, Moen, Rheem, Rust-Oleum, Sherwin-Williams/Valspar and Stanley Black & Decker.
The gathering coincides with Orgill’s Winter Online Buying Event, running Nov. 2–15. Its purchasing programs include Door Busters, Power Buys, a New Item Showcase, 2027 Spring/Summer Booking and Spring Is Here. A separate Private Brand Showcase features products across multiple categories. The source report does not state the dates of the two-day in-person event.
Retailers can also meet specialists in store technology, marketing, merchandising and operations. The services on display include electronic shelf labels, e-commerce capabilities, electronic data interchange and digital product information, as well as signage, branding, loyalty programs, store planning, conversions, market research, demographic information and pricing support. Educational programming includes presentations, retailer panels and sessions for peer discussion.
Services and Lessons for Independent Retailers
The event brings together products, purchasing programs and operational support in one setting, giving independent retailers a chance to review options and speak directly with Orgill and vendor representatives. That can help attendees evaluate resources spanning assortment planning, technology, marketing and store operations rather than focusing only on merchandise.
Orgill president and CEO Boyden Moore said the company designed the gathering as a platform for retailers to work with Orgill, vendors and one another amid what he described as stubborn economic headwinds for the home improvement industry. The report presents that as Moore’s assessment; it does not provide economic figures or evidence of the event’s effect on retailers’ results.
The education program is intended to connect available resources with practical decisions. Orgill executive vice president of sales David Mobley said retailer accounts of their experiences would help customers see possible applications, and that the education should support actionable growth plans. Whether attendees adopt the ideas or see measurable business gains is not established by the source.

A More Targeted Orgill Event Schedule
Grow Your Way is part of a change in how Orgill schedules events. Moore said the company is moving away from relying on two large live events each year and toward multiple buying events timed more closely to retailers’ purchasing cycles, alongside more focused gatherings around particular business needs.
The two-day program’s agenda reflects that approach. According to the report, day one focuses on assortment development, pricing, merchandising and marketing, including retailer experiences using Orgill’s resources. The second day turns to financial and operational performance, with sessions drawing on findings from the North American Hardware and Paint Association’s recent Cost of Doing Business Study. The report does not give the study’s specific findings.
Industry partners participating in the event include NHPA and Cleveland Research, which are providing educational resources and market intelligence. Their involvement places the event’s product and service displays alongside industry education, though the source does not list individual session titles or speakers beyond the Orgill executives quoted.
““That’s why we designed the Grow Your Way event to serve as a foundational platform for retailers to work with the Orgill team, our vendors and one another to really focus on how they can grow their operations.””
— Boyden Moore, Orgill president and CEO

During the event, retailers are scheduled to visit model stores and vendor exhibits, meet with specialists and take part in presentations, panels and peer networking. The program is divided between merchandising and marketing topics on the first day and financial and operational performance on the second, according to the source report.
The related Winter Online Buying Event runs Nov. 2–15, with the purchasing programs and showcases listed by Orgill. The report does not specify what Orgill will announce after the in-person event or when further information about future Grow Your Way gatherings will be available.
