Road Runner Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted October 15, 2017 They blame on-line shopping. My local hardware store was badly damaged by competition from Lowes and Home Depot, one of each just a mile or two away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn Posted October 15, 2017 Share #5 Posted October 15, 2017 Ours closed this spring. A gas station wanted to expand and bought the building and tore it down. (sheetz).
