HGreg Named Finalist for Prestigious Mercuriades Award in International Market Development

MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HGreg has earned a spot as a finalist in the International Market Development category of the 2026 Mercuriades awards. This nomination underscores the company’s strategic growth across North America, driven by an innovative business model, strategic investments, and measurable results.

Since entering the U.S. market in 2009, HGreg has expanded to 46 dealerships across Canada and the United States, with locations in Florida, California, Maryland, and most recently, Texas. The company leverages an integrated model that combines large-scale procurement, high-performance reconditioning centres, a centralized digital platform, and data analytics tools developed in Québec to optimize inventory management and tailor offerings to each local market.

As part of its expansion into Houston, Texas, HGreg has invested over $50 million to acquire and modernize a megacenter, purchase inventory, and recruit top talent. After one year of operations, vehicle sales targets were met and positions were filled, with a turnover rate well below the industry average.

“Being one of the 2026 Mercuriades finalists in the International Market Development category is a testament to the hard work of our teams and HGreg’s progression into new markets,” stated John Hairabedian, President of HGreg. “This recognition highlights the strategic vision and operational discipline driving our sustained, long-term growth.”

Rooted in the values of innovation, transparency, and a family-oriented culture, HGreg aims for sustainable growth and a lasting presence in North America.

The winners will be unveiled at the Mercuriades gala on May 11, 2026, at the Palais des congrès de Montréal.
