Wellington Home Hardware Wins Marc Robichaud Community Award
Three generations of owners, Ted Nash, along with his son Evan and his father Tom, were recognized at the Outstanding Retailer Awards Gala Dinner, held during the 18th Annual Hardlines Conference in Toronto on October 23rd. They accepted the award before an audience of retailers and suppliers from across Canada. The Community Leader Award is named in memory of Marc Robichaud, an innovative dealer and leader in his own community of Meteghan Centre, NS. Marc died in 2012 of cancer at the age of 36. The award is sponsored by Orgill.  The Nashes embody the philosophy that business, family and community are intertwined. As the go-to destination for everything from tools to tourist needs, their business is more than just a hardware store. This dedication to the community makes Wellington Home Hardware the 2013 Outstanding Retailer Award winner for Marc Robichaud Community Leader."Wellington Home Hardware had a terrific story of involvement with their community that went well beyond the norm. The leadership of each member of the Nash family impressed the judges and made them a natural to get the Marc Robichaud Award this year," said Michael McLarney, Editor of HARDLINES, the news and information company which presents the Awards.
