🚨 HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT AND EXCITING CHANGES FOR HSS!
For the past two years, Hardscape Sealing Supply has made a significant commitment to supporting the local exterior cleaning industry.
More than 60% of our showroom has been dedicated to maintaining a large inventory of chemicals, fittings, accessories, replacement parts, and everyday supplies specifically for local contractors. We made that investment because we wanted HSS to be a valuable resource for the contractors in our own community.
After reviewing two years of purchasing trends, however, we have made the business decision to move HSS in a slightly different direction.
While we have maintained extensive inventory locally, the overwhelming majority of local purchasing has been concentrated around chlorine, where HSS has worked aggressively to maintain some of the most competitive pricing in Flagler County. Many of the higher-margin products, equipment, and materials necessary to support a full-service supply operation are frequently purchased elsewhere.
Simply put, the current model is not sustainable.
A business cannot continue dedicating the majority of its retail space, inventory investment, and resources to products that do not generate enough revenue or profit to justify that investment.
Over the next several months, HSS will begin transitioning the showroom to better support the areas of the company experiencing the strongest growth.
This will include:
Significantly expanding our focus on professional equipment builds, skids, trailers, and other large-ticket projects.
Reducing inventory of fittings, accessories, and miscellaneous products that are not directly related to our equipment builds or consistently purchased.
Consolidating the traditional contractor supply portion of the showroom into a smaller, more efficient footprint.
Prioritizing inventory and resources for the contractors and companies who consistently support HSS.
Introducing a membership-based purchasing program for select local contractors who want continued access to chlorine and other qualifying inventory at preferred pricing, similar in concept to Costco or Sam’s Club.
HSS is not struggling. In fact, this change is being made because other areas of the company are growing and require additional space, inventory, and attention.
Our equipment builds and larger projects continue to expand, and much of that growth is coming from contractors and companies outside of Flagler County who consistently invest in the products and services HSS provides.
This is not a decision HSS made lightly. It is a decision shaped by two years of actual purchasing behavior within the local market.
We believe strongly in supporting our community, but support must ultimately work both ways. For HSS to remain strong, profitable, and capable of providing exceptional service, we have to invest our resources where our customers are also investing in us.
We are incredibly excited about where HSS is headed.
The showroom may look different.
The inventory may become more intentional.
The focus may shift.
But HSS is growing, evolving, and making room for what comes next.
