Greg Miller of Burk’s Falls named best young retailer in Central Canada

Greg Miller, store manager at Burk’s Falls Home Building Centre, has been recognized as the Best Young Retailer – Central Region. The Proud of My Home Achievement Awards were handed out at Home Hardware’s 2024 Homecoming event in Toronto on September 12. Miller attributes this honour to the unwavering support of the store’s local community and the dedication of his team. 

“I am honoured to be recognized with the Proud of My Home Achievement Award for Best Young Retailer in Central Canada,” said Greg Miller, Store Manager of Burk’s Falls Home Building Centre. “As a Home Building Centre, we’re not just a store—we’re a part of this community. Our team knows our customers by name, and we’re here to support them in every way we can. The award may have my name on it, but it belongs to the whole team. Everyone has a hand in making our customers feel welcome and at home.” 

Miller joined the store in 2020 and is the son of  Dealer-Owners Derek and Carrie Miller, who took over the Burk’s Falls business in 2008. With over 50 years of history in the community, the store has long stood as a pillar of support for residents, whose unwavering loyalty has been key to its success.

    We are not surprised either. When we first moved into our new home down the street, a young teenager knocked on our door and offered to help with gardening. That was Greg Miller.
