Welcome to
California Retail Hardware Association
Connecting and empowering the community of independent hardware stores, home centers, and lumberyards throughout California
Small Business Protection Act
CRHWA is leading California’s retail hardware store community to make a difference in state-level advocacy. A handful of California laws create an unfair burden on small businesses. Without the same level of resources as large corporations, the cost of regulation and administration is disproportionately higher on our community. We work together with our community to protect small businesses from these regulations and the predatory lawyers who exploit them.
In addition to our advocacy efforts, CRHWA leverages our buying power to access retail programs and favorable terms not available to an independent business by itself. Read more about our partnerships.
