This news is extremely sad on many counts. Billy was a treasure and Wise Hardware was always a fun, informative place to find solutions to our small and larger household tasks. Hope someone takes over the store. We need it.

Although I understand.So very sorry to read this notice. This wonderful business and all the folks who worked with the customers will be very sorely missed.
Wise Hardware Was an absolute mainstay business in the heart of our town.
