WINNERS LIST
The 2026 STIHL HARDWARE ALL STARS
T
hroughout this great nation, small businesses are still thriving. The 2026 class of STIHL Hardware All Stars serve as a shining reminder of this fact. Finding success in this era of profound retail transformation, however, requires consistent innovation, determination, foresight and genuine community engagement. The All Star program (now in its 16th year) recognizes 50 high-performing hardware stores, lumberyards or home centers doing just that. With so many deserving candidates, it’s difficult to select honorees. But thanks to input from a variety of industry leaders, distributors and retailers, we are proud to present the class of 2026. The criteria for selection includes the following: Innovation in operations, marketing or merchandising. High performance, exhibited through expansion or sales growth. Customer-centricity, community involvement and a commitment to the traditions of the hardware and building supply industry. We hope you enjoy learning more about the 2026 STIHL Hardware All Star honorees in the following pages (and in the weeks to come at HBSDealer.com). Congratulations to all.
