Hardware Stores near Derby, NY

“Love this hardware store! Out of all the Ace stores around.. the staff here are amazing. Always available to help from paint to finding something in the garden section.”

“Home town historic hardware and appliance store that beats the big box prices. And Bub delivers and sets up for free if you buy an appliance! No one in that business does that except for Schultz Hardware!”

“They've got a little of everything in this store. A bit higher priced than other hardware stores but you don't get the friendly atmosphere and that small town feel from the big box stores like you do here. Friendly staff and wide selection.”

“Workers were very helpful and it's a great hardware store way out here, they didn't have what I was looking for but to be fair, it was super random it's just on back order. Very pleasant conversation and quality assistance”

“Just received a new Ariens Platinum Sho. Awesome customer service. The counter service was great. Also the delivery service was great. Both girls explained everything thoroughly.”

“Growing up, I always admired how companies could start from humble beginnings and grow into giants in their industry. Lowe's Home Improvement is a perfect example of this journey. It all started in 1946, right after World War II, when H. Carl Buchan, a young Army veteran, had a vision for a hardware store that could cater to the booming post-war housing market. He partnered with his brother-in-law, James Lowe, and together they opened the first Lowe's store in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina. The store initially offered basic hardware and building supplies, but Carl had bigger dreams.

Over the years, as the company grew, they expanded their product offerings to include appliances, home decor, and more comprehensive building materials. The 1960s and 70s were transformative decades for Lowe's. They went public in 1961, which fueled further expansion. By the 1980s, Lowe's had become a household name, known for their wide selection of products and competitive prices. They adapted to the changing market, focusing on DIY homeowners as well as professional contractors.

As Lowe's continued to grow, they embraced innovation and technology, always looking for ways to improve the customer experience. They expanded nationally, and eventually internationally, bringing their commitment to quality and service to a broader audience. Today, Lowe's is one of the largest home improvement retailers in the world, with thousands of stores across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Their success story is a testament to the power of vision, hard work, and the ability to adapt to changing times. From a single small-town store to a global powerhouse, Lowe's journey is an inspiring example of what can be achieved with determination and a commitment to meeting customers' needs. Every time I walk into a Lowe's store, I'm reminded of that journey and the remarkable growth that can come from a simple but powerful idea.”
