A Three-Generation Legacy At the heart of our business is a story of family, evolution, and a commitment to the community we call home. The journey began in 1946 with our grandfather, Ed Kelly, and his business partner, Malcolm Lunt, but took a pivotal turn in the late 1970's when Pete Kelly took the reins of the family hardware business from his father. Pete was a visionary who understood that as our neighbors' needs grew, we should grow with them.

His daughter, Lisa, decided to join the family business in the 1990s and assist in operating the store. Then in 1998, he decided to expand the family footprint by adding a dedicated rental store to the mix. Pete’s daughter, Kate, stepped in to lead the new rental operation, and she has been at the helm ever since. Following Pete’s passing in 2020, Kate and Lisa-who continues to operate the hardware side- took over joint ownership of the businesses.

Today, our two stores sit side-by-side, connected by a shared parking lot and a singular mission: to provide the tools, equipment, and expertise our customers need to get the job done right.
