The Real Story of Hughes Supply Inc.

– Written by Kenneth R. Overman and Published Through Create Space

Hughes Supply was founded in 1928 by two young brothers, Russell and Harry Hughes, in Orlando, Florida. The firm expanded across Florida, into the Southeast, and eventually throughout the nation. In the 1970s, Hughes Supply went public and in 2006, the company was sold to The Home Depot for $3.5 billion.

While a huge success in financial terms, the sale devastated the company's culture, and indeed its very soul. This book tells the whole story of Hughes Supply and will keep the legacy of Hughes Supply alive forever.
