4 hours. 50+ suppliers. 1 co-op. The premier hardware event for LMC dealers, the Hardware Express, returned to Chicago, bringing together suppliers, dealers, and LMC staff for the most exciting four hours in the hardware industry.
The exclusive event offers LMC dealers’ extraordinary access to show specials, extended dating options, and countless opportunities to develop and grow their hardware buying strategies. The event's success is evident, creating an atmosphere of anticipation that has become the hallmark of Hardware Express. It has remained one of LMC's most sought-after events.
Beyond the exclusive purchasing opportunities, the Hardware Express features enhanced networking experiences designed to strengthen relationships within the LMC network. After an afternoon of excitement, attendees continued to connect at an evening event at Lucky Strike in downtown Chicago. The relaxed bowling venue provided the perfect setting to unwind and build relationships over dinner, drinks, and friendly competition. The combination of business during the day and networking in the evening creates lasting partnerships that benefit the entire dealer network.
Jeremy Neill, Director of Hardware, noted “In one afternoon, LMC dealers turn exclusive access into competitive advantage. Hardware Express is our co-op in action. By bringing our dealers and suppliers together, we continue to strengthen our network.”
Hardware Express has evolved significantly since its inception, demonstrating remarkable growth and the strength of LMC's dealer network. More than just a purchasing opportunity, Hardware Express has become a cornerstone of LMC's commitment to providing dealers with competitive advantages, exclusive access, and the comprehensive support needed to thrive in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
