Home Hardware and Scene+

The Scene+ program has come a long way since its inception, especially in the last two years with the many banners that have joined the program. Home Hardware announced its association with Scene+ in September 2022, the program’s arrival in stores materialized in the summer of 2023, and there are now 1,100 Home Hardware stores in Canada where Scene+ points can be earned and redeemed.
