Hardware All Stars: Mich., Minn., Miss.

United by a mission of customer service, the 2016 class of HBSDealer Hardware All Stars includes 50 stores – one for each state.

Great service is a common denominator. But the all stars are also high-performing, community-minded hardware store, lumberyard of farm and ranch dealers. 

Here are three more in the HBSDealer.com countdown of the class of 2016:

Self Serve Lumber & Home Center

As Michigan’s auto industry goes, so goes the state’s economy. But when it stalls, Self Serve Lumber & Home Center continues to step on the gas. How? “Great service and sharp prices” said one observer. The 19-unit company has been family owned and operated since 1933.

Crosslake Ace Hardware and Appliances
