Sherwin-Williams has opened its 4,000th retail location in the U.S., Canada and Caribbean. The nation’s largest specialty retailer of paint and painting supplies has opened its newest location in Sewickley, Pennsylvania.
“The opening of Sherwin-Williams 4,000th store is a landmark occasion for our company,” said Chris Connor, chairman and chief executive officer, Sherwin-Williams. “Sherwin-Williams is committed to delivering an exceptional painting experience to homeowners and professionals alike. We also believe in making a positive difference in the communities we serve and look forward to showing our support for Sewickley and the surrounding boroughs in the coming years.”
In honor of the 4,000th store opening, Sherwin-Williams will donate $40,000 to Austin’s Playroom Project, an initiative of the Mario Lemieux Foundation. The funds will furnish interactive iPad tables in 10 hospital playrooms in the Pittsburgh area and across the country. Austin’s Playroom Project seeks to benefit families and improve the quality of a child’s hospital experience — whether as a visitor or patient — by furnishing cheerful playrooms that are safe, calming and comfortable. The playrooms feature Sherwin-Williams paints, such as Optimistic Yellow (SW 6900), Sundance (SW 6897) and Exciting Orange (SW 6647).
Sherwin-Williams will also donate $4,000 to the Sewickley Civic Garden Council for the construction of a new gazebo in Wolcott Park. The current gazebo is a celebrated cornerstone of the Sewickley community.
