To our community,
Wow. Did you show up. And we’re still taking it all in….
What we saw over the past couple days wasn’t just people walking through our doors—it was neighbors showing up, friends bringing friends, families stopping in just to say hello, and a town reminding us what it means to belong to something bigger than ourselves.
Thank you for your support, your curiosity and your patience during the chaos. Thank you for caring enough to stop, to look around, to share kind words, and to make this place feel like a good idea from the very beginning.
We took on this adventure nearly 10 years ago, hoping to be a useful little part of this community. What you have given back is something far greater—pride, encouragement, and a sense that DeMaris Hardware was always a good idea.
We don’t take that lightly.
We’re grateful to be here, and we’re excited for all the everyday moments ahead—helping you find what you need, solving problems together, and being a place you can count on.
Thank you for showing up for us. We’ll keep showing up for you.
One of the only pictures I have from this weekend is from the added chaos of a literal cardinal being stuck in our store the majority of the day Friday. We’re taking that as the best omen. (Thanks to Barb for the amazing, chaotic picture)
With love & gratitude,
Ty & Katie
