Now open: Howard Walker's True Value
Howard Walker's True Value Hardware celebrated a grand opening on April 12, 2025.
The store is named in honor of the father of co-owner Julie Walker-Martin. Howard Walker, who died in 2022, served the community as a math teacher for 50 years, and the Pastor of First Christian Church in Henrietta, Texas, for 60.
Located in the heart of Henrietta, this new hardware store occupies the beautifully restored former Olsen Stelzer Boot and Saddlery building, a historic structure built in the early 1900s that adds charm and character to the downtown area.
“We’re grateful for the warm reception we’ve received from the community and are excited to continue serving Henrietta with a store that combines small-town charm with a broad selection of products,” said Co-owner Julie Walker-Martin. “We hope to create a welcoming space where people feel at home and can find everything they need for their projects, big or small.”
