Good news, handy folks!
Fuller and Son announced it’s opening a new store in the Heights. The shop will be located in the previous home of Hestand’s grocery store at The Heights Center, next to The Toggery.
On its Facebook page, the hardware store wrote:
“For years now we’ve wished for a store in the Heights, but retail space being such a precious commodity in that area made it seem like it would remain a wish…until now.”
Owner JR Fuller told Soirée the new store will offer the same service and merchandise but expect a different look. “We’re introducing a more modern, clean feel in terms of aesthetic but not taking away from what we’ve done on a service side and that is, we are still a working man’s hardware store and want to provide exceptional knowledge and service to the community,” Fuller said.
Fuller went on to explain its distrubutor, Orgill, helped introduce this new concept that focused on areas where square footage was at a premium. Read more about the idea here.
Renovations are currently underway.
Fuller hopes to have doors open in early to mid November but tells Soirée, the date may change depending on construction.
Fuller and Son currently has six stores in Little Rock and Maumelle.
