True Value Hardware

I hate reading this more than any other bankruptcy I've head of. It's right up the street with easy parking. I can find anything I need for the house and lots of help and advice on fixing things. I really depend on them often.

That is sad because it's such a great hardware store!

That's sad. I like the neighborhood ACE, too.

Exactly how I felt when the Bed Bath and Beyond 2 blocks from me closed a few years ago. Still annoyed!

We love this hardware store! The stores are all independently owned so they won't close, according to the article I read. True Value is filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy. The brand is being sold to a brand I never heard of, so guess we will need to stay tuned. k We depend on our neighborhood store because the owner/staff actually know what tthey have, where it is, and act like they appreciate your business. So much better than wandering around Lowes or HDepot. I hope this filing results in the stores being better than ever.

I also heard that Bed,Bath and Beyond is reopening stores since their online site has been pretty much a flop. Truth is stranger than fiction!

I live in the "old" part of town...and just about everything has moved out to the suburbs...

We have a True Value right down the road. Don't go very often but it's nice that it's there. They are more helpful than the big box stores. Clark Howard recently did a video "Why we like True Value."

Beyond Inc. has entered into a licensing agreement to sell "Bed Bath & Beyond" branded merchandise at over 100 Container Stores.

Container Stores is also struggling financially, so hopefully this investment benefits both parties.

We found a BIG local hardware store when we moved. Love it there. The staff knows all the merchandise, what to suggest. A lot of the small, local owned stores just can't make it. Hard to find a knowledgeable HD or Lowes (at least our local stores).

Hubbs remarked just the other day that he doesn't buy much stuff from NAPA or Auto Zone or True Value. He'd rather order online.

Why are so many stores, like some CVS's, Walgreen's, True Value, going out of business?

We had one just a couple of miles from the house, it was so convenient AND I think the workers knew where every nut and bolt was. I really miss them, they were one of the first 'friends' we made when we bought this house out here 30 years ago.

My True Value store changed to Ace Hardware a few years ago.

Big Lots closing also and Walgreens closing 1,200 stores. Restaurant chains also. So depressing.

I haven't seen a True Value store in over 25 years. We have Ace.
