Wholesale hardware supplier True Value has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and is aiming to be sold by the end of the year to rival Do It Best.

True Value retail stores, which are independently owned and operated, are not part of the bankruptcy, and the wholesaler said it will continue to supply products to those 4,500 locations. The iconic brand has been around for 75 years. . .

We have Ace hardware by me. I hope they stay viable. It's nice when you need something quick and are willing to a pay a little extra to not have to wander around a big box store trying to find it.

Ours is staffed by people who actually know handyman work and they are easy to find. Most of the people I talk to at the box stores know less than I do. No good when you have an actual question about a product.

The last time I was in one was probably about 10 years ago. The selection was garbage, the staff were rude and everything was overpriced. They still had free stale popcorn though.....

The True Value chain didn't file, it was their supplier who also had the same name.

The supplier is majority owned by a capital company. Go figure.

Maybe if they stayed open past 4pm.
