Bob Nardelli Five Quotations

We continue to execute our growth strategy laid out five years ago to enhance our core retail business, extend our business into adjacent areas and expand into new markets.

We are poised for dramatic growth over the next five years across our business. Our planned acquisition of Hughes Supply is a great example of how we are rapidly replicating in the professional market the same type of transformation that we brought to the home improvement retail market.

We thank Dick Brown for his five years of service and leadership, and his expertise in information technology.
