Vermont
Goodro Lumber
Located in East Middlebury, Vt., Goodro Lumber carries just about everything you could want when it comes to building materials and hardware. Established in 1930 by Harry and Mildred Goodro as a sawmill, today Goodro carries tools, hardware, paint, doors, windows, roofing, and flooring in addition to other categories. Goodro maintains a steady blog with home improvement tips along with an E-Showroom.
Virginia
Overstreet Ace Hardware
Overstreet Hardware in Lynchburg, Va. has grown to become much more than a hardware store. The dealer offers a full-service rental department, featuring equipment rentals and a large selection of wedding and party accessories. Owners Paul and Chuck Overstreet say the company strives to offer competitive rates and expert, personalized service. The dealer’s goal is to provide the proper equipment and expertise required to serve all of its customers’ needs.
Washington
Ace on Francis
For more than a decade, Dawn Gregg and her husband Bruce were asked by their Indian Trail customers to open a much-needed hardware store in their neighborhood. The new location, which opened in 2021, is smaller than the other two stores, but Dawn promised “to squeeze just as much into that building as we can so we can serve those neighbors who have supported us for the last 17 years.
