Nuts and Bolts
Some Additional Information We Thought You Might Like to Know
Lee's Summit Warehouse Expansion
We recently completed a 6,500-square-foot, temperature-controlled expansion of our Lee’s Summit, MO warehouse. The addition was built specifically to store our wide selection of chemical products, such as sealants and adhesives. The added space allows us to stock more products appropriately per manufacturer recommendations.
Most chemical products must be stored in a climate-controlled environment to preserve longevity and effectiveness. For example, many single-component sealants/adhesives are moisture-curing; therefore, managing humidity while in storage is essential.
This expansion is another example of our commitment to not only provide top-of-the-line products, but also to being the best, most reliable, and conscientious partner to our customers and suppliers.
9th Annual Charity Football Pool Set to Kickoff
Our charity football pool is back for a 9th season, and as we have in the past, we would like to ask you for a little help.
The pool is designed to foster engagement with our customers and vendors. The best part is that a charity in great charity will receive a nice donation thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and ownership at Austin Hardware.
While Marketing has already handled the majority of invitations through e-mail blasts and social media, you can help as we come down the stretch by sending a personal invitation to your closest contacts. These are people with whom you do business on a regular basis. It doesn't matter if you're in Sales, Purchasing, Accounting, Operations, or IT. You can help. Remember, anyone outside the company is welcome to participate.
All of the details on how the pool works and signing up can be found HERE.
To help you compose an e-mail invitation we've written a template that you can access HERE. You can copy the template verbatim, just filling in the names, or you can use it simply as a guide to compose your own message.
Please help us expand our engagement by reaching out directly to your closest contacts.
P.S. Don't Forget to Play the Austin Hardware Employee Football Pool!
