The granular insights to achieve outsized M&A outcomes for Hardware Store and Home Centers owners.

Hardware Stores and Home Centers – A Growing Consolidation Opportunity

In late 2022, Anchor Peabody initiated M&A coverage of hardware stores and home centers (“hardlines”) and agriculture distribution to bring our M&A expertise to an extremely fragmented part of the building industry. With an abundance of sophisticated buyers gaining steam in a consolidation effort which is still in its infancy – Anchor Peabody is well-positioned to deliver outsized M&A results to our clients.
