Hardware Stores in Hamburg, NY

“If I'm in the area I'll come to this hardware store because they have a lot of items that you can't find at the other hardware store in Hamburg , like a larger selection of fasteners and other things a serious DIYer might use. It's one of the last remaining old school hardware stores that can still compete against the big chain hardware franchises.”

“Friendly knowledgeable staff... Thanks again ladies for going the extra mile (searching through fresh shipment for what I wanted, instead of making me come back!)...Love their product lines... They've come pretty far in the past 30 years!... Save your money - product + extended warranty - still cheaper than big box stores.”

“This location in Hamburg is clean and organized. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The staff found an old flyer that had the item I was looking for that I previously seen and found it in the store for me as well. They were polite and no waiting in lines to check out. They have a great selection and prices are reasonable especially when they have sales.”

“Went here for work boots, sales representative - Jerry in footwear went well above expectations to accommodate me in making a good affordable work boot choice as well as gel/foam inserts.”

“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.”
