Warren Pegram and his stepson Charlston Austin opened an Ace Hardware franchise in their neighborhood in the town of South Fulton, Georgia. It is one of the first hardware stores in their community.
According to the City of South Fulton Observer, the new store is a great addition to the current retail offering on the Old National Marketplace. It opened on time as the city encouraged more small businesses to do business in the area.
The Ace Hardware franchise promises to specifically offer home improvement products that are most needed in the community. Pegram said that unlike other franchises, they will also sell party rental equipment like off-the-shelf snow cone machines, inflatables, popcorn machines, and more.
Austin, who used to work as a former retail account manager, makes sure he connects with the community to know the products he needs and have them available in his hardware store. His father, on the other hand, ensures a high level of customer service so that everyone who comes into the store has a fantastic shopping experience.
With the newest hardware store in the area, residents of the community don’t have to go further to meet their home improvement needs. They also hope to inspire the younger generations to become entrepreneurs.
To keep their customers safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, they are currently offering pick-up and delivery options. They are located at 6385 Old National Hwy Suite 120 in South Fulton, GA.
