True Value Company today announced an expanded partnership agreement with Toro that will provide True Value’s independently owned retailers access to the complete line of Toro’s battery-powered Flex-Force® 60V outdoor power equipment.
Unveiled to retailers today at its Fall Reunion in Denver, CO, this solidified partnership marks another step forward for True Value as it strengthens its product offerings for its customers. The entire lineup of Toro’s Flex-Force battery-powered product platform will be available for shipment to retail stores in Q1 2023.
