CHICAGO, Sept. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Grainger (NYSE: GWW), the leading broad line supplier of
maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) products serving businesses
and institutions, is proud to have helped support the Chicago Cubs
through a safe and successful season at Wrigley Field that required
agility and teamwork on and off the field.
At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Grainger, the Official
MRO Distributor and Services Partner of the Cubs and Wrigley Field,
helped to quickly reconfigure Wrigley Field for Summer Camp and the 2020 60-game regular season,
so it could be used every day for practice and games in accordance
with health and safety guidelines.

Grainger helped the Cubs conduct virtual safety assessments;
procure personal protective equipment, sanitization products, and
social distancing materials; and enact measures to help keep
employees and customers safe at other areas of the Wrigleyville
campus, including the front office, Hotel Zachary and offshoot
warehouses.
"As a fellow hometown brand, Grainger is honored to work with
the Chicago Cubs and help them solve the unique challenges they
faced during these unprecedented times. We are proud to play a key
role in helping to keep Wrigley running, the players and crew safe
and baseball on the field throughout the season," said Paige Robbins, Grainger Senior Vice President
and Chief Merchandising, Marketing, Digital and Strategy Officer.
"Whether it's through our broad line of products, our inventory
management solutions or our safety services, this work is a prime
example of how we continuously find new ways to add value for our
customers."
Throughout natural disasters and other emergencies, Grainger is
recognized an "essential business" that provides hardware, safety,
personal protection equipment and other MRO products to
customers—including government agencies, hospitals, first
responders, food producers, utilities, pharmaceutical manufacturers
and those that work in critical infrastructure sectors.
As the Cubs prepare for next season, Grainger will continue to
provide solutions and services to the Cubs to help keep its
facilities safe for its employees, players and, at some point in
the future, fans.
"Grainger is a great business partner and supplier to the
Chicago Cubs, helping us maintain a world-class sports and
entertainment facility here in Chicago," said Cubs Vice President of
Operations Patrick Meenan. "Not only
do they provide high-quality products in an effective and efficient
manner, they differentiate themselves through their value-added
consulting services that help us improve our internal processes and
procedures."
