After running five stores for the previous owners for five years, Patti and Kelly decided to purchase the stores in 2013. They believe the Trail Home Hardware Building Centre is definitely a jewel in their store group. As absentee owners, they are proud to rely on a very  knowledgeable team, including an experienced and driven Manager, Tim Harding.

On May 28th, Trail Home Hardware will be hosting their 6th annual trade show with over 50 vendors. Each vendor will display and demonstrate their product line. There will be tons or raffles with around $10,000 in giveaways that day. This has proved to be one of the biggest events in the Kootenays and this year will be no exception.

The big news right now is that Trail Home Hardware is in the planning stages of a proposed expansion. This expansion will include a 7000 sqft addition to the store, as well as an 18,000 sqft covered lumber yard. With the success Trail Home Hardware has had over the past few years, they feel this expansion is a must going forward. They will be supplying their customers with everything they need from start to finish. This expansion will keep customers shopping locally.
