Chad’s proven ability to enhance operational efficiency and drive growth will be invaluable as he leads Nation’s Best’s East Region.
Kim Peffley brings over 30 years of home improvement industry leadership to her role as Regional Vice President of the North Region. Starting in her family’s True Value store, Kim later managed a multi-store Ace Hardware operation as General Manager, where she implemented development programs, merchandising standards, and modernization projects, significantly boosting sales and reducing expenses. Most recently, as Director of Organizational Development and Consulting for the North American Hardware and Paint Association (NHPA), she worked closely with retailers to elevate team performance. At Nation’s Best, Kim will focus on operational excellence, workforce development, and strategic growth for the North Region.
