2000th ParkerStore opens

Parker Hannifin Corporation recently opened its 2000th ParkerStore. Introduced as an Industrial Retail concept, the ParkerStore serves as an environment for the immediate and direct sale of industrial products through an approved, service-based platform. Working with Parker's global distribution partners, Parker designed the concept to reach the walk-in maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) or 'industrial retail' marketplace.

Combining the trade counter and retail models, ParkerStores allow customers to order custom, whileyou- wait hydraulic hose assemblies while shopping for complementary products typically also required, such as couplings, filters, lubricants, oil, tooling and safety equipment.

The 2000th ParkerStore is located in Chassieu, a suburb of Lyon. It has about 1600ft2 of retail space dedicated to Parker products.
