HOME HARDWARE and 1000+

It is usually a good idea to do a little research. Fennel and Gage is simply one franchisee of Home Hardware.
Read on for the big picture.

(History excerpt)
If its Dealers and dedicated staff are the heart of Home Hardware, distribution is its backbone. Home Hardware meets the challenge of servicing close to 1,100 stores with a highly efficient, world-class distribution system.
Home Hardware operates four distribution centres: St. Jacobs, Ontario; Elmira, Ontario (Home Furniture); Debert, Nova Scotia; and Wetaskiwin, Alberta; approximately 2.5 million square feet of combined warehousing space holding over 100,000 products. Home Hardware's distinctive yellow trucks, trailers and vans - of which there are over 400 - are a common sight on Canadian roads traveling from these hubs to make their weekly deliveries to stores across the country. The distribution centres are also home to sophisticated service garages that keep these "yellow birds" in top condition.
