I had a great aunt and uncle who owned a true value Hardware Store out in Odessa Texas. I went to stay a few weeks with them when I was around 12:00 or 13.  My aunt taught me needle point and gave me all the thread I wanted. It was a cool store.

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.

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

@Bookplate Me too, there was one in my neighborhood and now it's gone

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.

Too many drug stores were built,  Hardware stores ,i don't know why they are closing.

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

Amazon and the economy

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.
