|
|
I went to Pfeiffer's last weekend to buy rock salt. The staff told me they were not able to order seasonal items like rock salt because business has been very bad.
I am quite discouraged to hear this. I also tried Cooper's Hardware store, but they were closed on a Sunday.
Does our neighborhood have any other options for basic hardware? Do we have enough business to keep a hardware store in business (seemingly the answer is no...) |

We do but the store needs to be fully stocked. I want to be able to get in and get about everything - as pricy as it is the one on P St (is it Ace?) is what I would like to see and I would imagine would do well given the Petworth, 16th St Heights, CH crowds doing smaller and larger renos all over the place.
A small corner hardware store with limited supplies cannot compete anymore, I'm afraid. |
