Do it Best Group appoints Divisional Merchandise Manager

The Do it Best Group is pleased to announce the promotion of Shane Burnworth to the role of True Value Divisional Merchandise Manager, effective immediately. Shane is joining the True Value team after more than a decade of merchandising leadership experience at Do it Best, where he played a pivotal role in shaping the success of multiple product categories.

Shane’s most recent position was Merchandise Manager for Power Tools at Do it Best, where he drove significant growth through strategic vendor partnerships and category optimization.
