Be just the fourth owner of a classic small town hardware store that spans 3 centuries of Virginia history. Still located in its original 3 story, 11,000 sq. ft. building (complete with hand-over-hand elevator and cedar grain chute), Bedford Hardware has served the citizens of the Bedford community since the 1890's. Located between Lynchburg and Roanoke and just over an hour from Charlottesville, Bedford is one of Virginia's fastest growing counties west of Richmond, yet Centertown Bedford retains the character and charm of a quaint small town. We're also surrounded by the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway to the North, 500 miles of shoreline at booming Smith Mountain Lake to the south, and to the East the rapidly expanding community of Forest, named for Thomas Jefferson's retreat home 'Poplar Forest". Our quaint and peaceful little town is also home to the National D-Day Memorial, located here in tribute to the sacrifices made by the "Bedford Boys" in the Normandy Landing in World War II. The current owners have rejuvenated and nurtured the store since 2000, and have developed a knowledgeable and capable staff of 3 managers and employees. The particular emphasis is on home renovation and repair, with a particularly strong paint program, but also with forays into classic toys, woodworking tools and kitchen wares, all set amidst the ambiance and artifacts of generations past. And how many hardware stores can boast an art gallery featuring consignment works of local artists and craftsmen. In short, this unique store offers a unique opportunity for the early retiree or for anyone with retail/business savvy looking for the quality of life that a small town in the Blue Ridge affords.
