'It's Been Quite A Ride': Harvey's Hardware Closing After Nearly 70 Years

Harvey's Hardware will be closing after almost 70 years in business, the store's owners said in a Facebook post on Thursday, Oct. 6. 

"This announcement comes with mixed emotions," Gary and Jeff Katz said. "As much as we will miss our store and our daily interactions with you all, we know this is the right time to enter our next chapter." 

Harvey Katz opened Harvey's Hardware in 1953 when he was 20 years old, according to the store's website. The business was later passed down to Harvey's sons who helped with the "thriving" business. 

"You all brought our father so much joy and purpose, and we can only hope that Harvey’s legacy lives on in this community for years to come," the owners continued.
