Dauphin is home to the best Home Hardware location in Western Canada.
Owners Whitney and Mark Odut were in Toronto earlier this month to be presented the honour during Home Hardware's 2024 Homecoming event.
Whitney's dad, Owen Connolly, first opened Dauphin Home Hardware in 1983.
And Whitney says it is important to her and Mark to be able to keep the legacy that he established going.
"The fact that my father instilled in us everything that he knows and taught us everything and trusted us to take on his baby sort of speak and run with it. We are just happy that are here and able to carry things on and hopefully make him proud."
Whitney also said an award like this is not possible without their amazing staff
"Our staff are the most important thing. They are what makes this business run. They are basically like family to us. They put in the work every day with smiles on their faces and we rely on them and are so proud of them."
She also appreciates the support that they receive from the community, adding they are proud to be a part of Dauphin and the Parkland.
Whitney says recognition like this motivates her and Mark to continue growing the store and making it stronger than it already is.
