Hometown Hardware owners Phil and Deanna Cheeves

Hometown Hardware obviously knows fasteners are a key product that holds its business together. The store, which Phil and Deanna Cheeves opened in 2018 and was honored by Hardware Connection with a 2022 Beacon Award, was also recently featured in the February edition of Hardware Retailing for its growth in fastener space.

Phil and the store’s manager, Allan Morris, talked with the magazine about how increasing Hometown’s fastener selection has also increased business and customer satisfaction. The Cheeves and their store have been part of the Paladin family since opening five years ago.
