Owners and team members at Randy’s Do it Best Hardware come together at the grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony.
One year ago – February 26, 2022, to be exact – the nightmare of every small business retailer happened.
An overnight fire took out a hardware store in the Shenandoah Valley. It had stood for 70 years.
The combination of a hardware store’s own strong team along with a determined community brought it right back in three months.
“We re-opened last June,” said Christian Herrick, CEO and co-owner with owner Randy Andes, of Randy’s Do it Best Hardware in Mt. Jackson, Virginia. “It was a fantastic feeling to be back.”
Recently, Randy’s hosted an event at their new location in town, to show appreciation to the community for their continued support of the store. Several hundred people came out to be part of the celebration.
