With all the emphasis on supporting Canadian-owned businesses and buying Canadian-produced products in the wake of the Trump-imposed tariffs, Peterborough’s Merrett Home Hardware Building Centre is well ahead of the curve.
With close to 1,100 stores across Canada, Home Hardware’s assurance that it is locally owned and genuinely Canadian isn’t just an idle marketing slogan. That has long been the case and remains a point of pride that anchors every customer interaction and product sourcing
Drew Merrett, the owner of Merrett Home Hardware Building Centre, is proud of his store’s emphasis on its Canada-first approach, his trademark red shirt quite literally allowing him to wear his Canadian pride on his sleeve.
Merrett notes the demand for Canadian products hasn’t, and won’t come, without its challenges, but adds a good outcome will result in the long run.
