It was named Pismo Beach Business of the Year in 2002, and was honored on the cover of Member’s Magazine, a national hardware magazine, for its success in competing with the big box stores. The business has served the Five Cities at Price Street since 1983, providing its customers with all of their hardware needs. Since its conception as a small town hardware store in 1932, it has stayed true to its slogan, “If we don’t have it, you don’t need it.” It has always been a family business. All of the kids, ranging from a sophomore at Cal Poly to a teacher in the local school district, have participated in the business, and have guaranteed its vitality. We treat our customers like members of the family. Incredible variety. Stunning service. Beautiful gardens. It’s what we do.
