Proof that some things never go out of style… ❤️

45 years later, and Beth & Peter are still the same young couple in love from this photo booth picture🎞️

Just with a few more stories, a whole lot more memories, and a growing crew of grandbabies along the way☺️

Happy 45th Anniversary to two people who truly embody love, commitment, and family.

We’re lucky to know you both! ✨

After 17 incredible years with us, Buzz is officially heading into retirement ❤️

This Thursday, the 28th, will be his last day at the store before he and his wife Arla head to South Carolina for some well-deserved R&R.

Buzz has been so much more than an employee — he’s been a steady face, a helping hand, a dedicated husband and father, and a huge part of both our store family and this community for nearly two decades. He’s truly one of a kind and a wealth of knowledge.

If you’ve got a favorite Buzz story, memory, or experience, we’d love for you to stop in this week and share it with him. And if you’ve been meaning to ask Buzz one last hardware question… now’s the time 😉

Thank you, Buzz, for 17 amazing years of friendship, hard work, laughter, and wisdom. We’re going to miss you around here ❤️

WOW… what a weekend ❤️

We are still soaking in all the love and support from our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and Grand Opening celebration.

None of it would have been possible without the amazing people and businesses who showed up for us in such a big way.

A huge thank you to Cheryl, the Chamber, our friends, family, and everyone who came out Friday evening for our ribbon cutting celebration.

Thank you to Allen Dye for the incredible Beacon Village picnic spread Friday night, it was absolutely delicious!😋

And for Saturday’s Grand Opening festivities, thank you to:

• Do It Best
• Broil King
• Husqvarna
• Greenworks
• Mike Ayers, chainsaw artist
• Uncle Scott’s Root Beer

Special thanks to Daniel & Emily at Short Sleeves for letting us share in the fun of the day together, David at Kilwins in Black Mountain for the delicious ice cream for our root beer floats, Miss Rachel for serving floats with a smile, and David Cody for providing the wonderful music all day long.

Most importantly, thank you to every friend, family member, customer, and community supporter who came out and celebrated with us. Seeing the store filled with smiling faces, laughter, and community meant more than we can say.

We are so grateful to be part of this community ❤️

Cindy may have just found the next big thing for the kids… PUTTY 😄

We’re now carrying a whole line of putty from Crazy Aaron’s and it’s already getting lots of attention around the store.

Stretch it, squish it, pop it!

Perfect for keeping little hands busy (and honestly… adults too).

We’re still waiting on our NeeDoh shipment to arrive, but in the meantime these putties are fully stocked and ready to be tested out 👀

What a day in Swannanoa! 🎉

From root beer floats and vendor booths to live music, a chainsaw artist, and so many good people🩷

Today has already been one for the books. Thank you for showing up and celebrating with us!

We’re here until 6 PM tonight, so there’s still plenty of time to stop by, shop, snack, and join the fun.

And while you’re here, make sure to visit our neighbors at Short Sleeves Coffee who are celebrating their 1st birthday today with a fun carnival of their own! 🎪☕️

Small town community at its best ❤️
