Amador County - Jackson’s True Value Hardware became one of 13 stores recently selected by its parent company as winners of the second annual “Best Hardware Store in Town” nationwide recognition. Owners Chris Fragapane and Dan Sneed were honored to be among stores selected from each of the company’s retail regions to be recognized at True Value’s 2009 Spring Market held in New Orleans in March. “It’s no surprise Jackson True Value has been recognized with such a great distinction. Ever since its establishment in 1993, the store has been renowned for providing Jackson and surrounding communities with top-notch customer service,” said True Value Representative Britt Svendsen. In 2008, the local newspaper named Jackson True Value as offering the best customer service in town. “A lot of shoppers start their journey at big-box stores, and then realize that the products they want are actually here,” Fragapane said. Fragapane and Sneed remodeled the store in 2005, resulting in additional shelf space and more relevant departments. Fragapane says that customers appreciate the True Value Rewards program, which allows them to earn points for their purchases, translating into coupons and cash discounts. Sponsored by the independent hardware cooperative, the ‘Best Hardware Store in Town’ program is designed to recognize True Value stores that exemplify successful retailing. Jackson’s True Value Hardware Store is located at 520 Sutter Street, Highway 49 in Jackson. Story by Alex Lane This email address is being protected from spambots.
