Home Hardware

Home Hardware is a home improvment retailer that was founded by Walter Hachborn in 1964.
==History==
Walter Hachborn and his partner Henry Sittler organized the first meeting of independent store owners at a hotel in Kitchener, Ontario in 1963. On January 1, 1964, 122 independent Ontario hardware retailers purchased Hollinger Hardware Limited in St. Jacobs, Ontario, resulting in the formation of a 100% Dealer-owned business model.
On November 9, 1967, Home Hardware’s name and logo became official. In 1981, Home Hardware merged with western-Canada-based Link Hardware to create a national chain.
Home Hardware Stores Limited expanded through the purchase of Beaver Lumber in 1999 after acquiring the chain from Molson Brewery for $68 million.
