NRHA is now collecting information from independent U.S. hardware stores, home improvement centers and lumberyards for the 2020 Cost of Doing Business Study.

NRHA confidentially collects financial data from thousands of independent retailers to complete the Cost of Doing Business Study, which helps retailers understand how their business compares to typical and high-profit operators in the industry. It also allows retailers to determine ways to increase profits and strategize for their financial future.

Participation is free and confidential and grants participants access to the study’s results. To learn more or sign up, visit nrha.org/codb.
