Home Hardware Dealer Named 2022 Young Retailer of the Year

“It is an honour to be acknowledged by the North American Hardware and Paint Association and named alongside such talented young professionals,” said Adam Moulton, Dealer-Owner. “This award is a testament to the support and dedication of my entire team. I’m very proud of their hard work in providing our customers and communities with the products and services they need.” 

Adam Moulton was awarded Young Retailer of the Year under the category Multistore Retailers. Honorees are chosen based on several criteria, including professional milestones, continuing hardware industry education and community engagement.

“I want to congratulate Home Hardware Dealer-Owner Adam Moulton on this well-deserved recognition,” said Kevin Macnab, President and CEO, Home Hardware Stores Limited. “Adam is an exceptional leader who has demonstrated his ability to innovate and adapt in a constantly changing retail environment. His customer-first mentality and commitment to the communities he serves exemplify the values of Home Hardware.” 

Adam Moulton joined the Home Hardware banner in 2017 when he purchased Allandale Home Hardware Building Centre in the rapidly growing community of Barrie. He became Dealer-Owner of Woodstock Home Hardware Building Centre in January 2021 and added his third store, Ingersoll Home Hardware Building Centre, six months later. 

Community involvement and giving back are important to Adam Moulton who makes it a priority to support non-profit organizations and community groups such as Sakura House, Woodstock and Barrie Food Banks, Autism Ontario and the Barrie Colts. 

Adam looks forward to continuing to serve the communities of Barrie, Ingersoll and Woodstock and has exciting plans in the works with expansion projects scheduled for both his Woodstock and Ingersoll locations.

For 26 years, the Young Retailer of the Year program has highlighted the skills and success of the next generation of independent home improvement leaders. NHPA believes the 2022 Young Retailer of the Year honorees represent the future of the industry. Supporting them gives the entire independent channel an opportunity to unite and celebrate the hardworking people who propel it forward each day.
