Sutherlands is the Greater Maryville Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors September Business of the Month.
It is a popular choice for regional consumers’ home improvement and hardware needs.
While Sutherlands is a nationally recognized name in the home improvement industry, the Maryville location at 718 South Main is a local, family-owned business and has been at the Maryville location for 21 years. The store is open 7:30 am to 7 pm, Monday through Saturday and 10 am to 5 pm on Sundays. A friendly, knowledgeable staff is available to help customers navigate a wide selection of appliances, lumber, tools, hardware and supplies for electrical and plumbing. The store also offers custom buildings and deck packages.
Sutherlands was nominated for its great customer service and fair prices. The nomination reads, “If they don’t have what I need, they try to order it or even suggest competitors who might have what I’m looking for, most businesses don’t do that.” Sutherlands also “supports local organizations with donations, host girl/Boy Scouts selling campaigns, as well as local church groups.” Committed to the community, Sutherlands often donates leftovers such as flowers, water and pet food to area schools, the humane society, and others.
To be eligible for this award, businesses must be in good standing with the Chamber and should fit at least one of the following selection criteria:
● Have demonstrated outstanding support to the community or to the Chamber.
● Provide superior customer service and/or products.
● Considered a successful and professional business by peers.
All nominations must be submitted on the business of the month nomination form accessible through or posted at area businesses or by submitting a form under the “Member” menu at maryvillechamber.com.
All verified nominations will remain for consideration for three months from the date of submission.
When nominating a business, individuals should keep the following criteria in mind: customer service, ease of accessibility, convenient hours, friendly and helpful staff; social responsibility shown by involvement in local activities; and civic engagement by encouraging staff to volunteer, long term commitment to local economic growth, proactive hiring standards for community members, and commitment to educational excellence.
Deadline for nominations is the first Friday of each month.
