NEW ORLEANS — The sheer size of the Orgill Market makes it a semi-annual draw for Canadian dealers, and the latest show in New Orleans, February 16 to 18, attracted some 350 accounts from across the country.
With the opening of another distribution centre to serve Canadian customers, Memphis-based Orgill continues to enhance its viability in this country. One of the highlights of the latest show was the upgrades to one of its model stores, Maple Ridge Home Centre, which featured a full inventory of Canadian-compliant products, including expanded sections of lawn and garden, housewares, and paint.
