If you travel down Main Street you might notice Richcreek’s Hardware has had some work done on the front of the building.
According to owner, Spence Richcreek, the front had some water damage and needed an update. After all, the store has been in business for 51 years. Presently, the store has a new and updated front exterior. After the awning gets put on, the Richcreek’s Hardware sign will be hung on the storefront window and the update will be complete.
No work has been done to the inside of the store though, and according to Richcreek he does not have plans to do anything to the interior. Similarly, the store hours remain the same, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. However, the phone number has changed. The new number for Richcreek’s Hardware is 740-334-2261.
Inside the store, customers will find light bulbs, tools, plumbing supplies, and other hardware items. In addition, Richcreek’s has a variety of knives, shotguns, and many collectible items. Some of the collectibles include belt buckles, coins and classic Coca-Cola bottles with the original soda still in the bottle.
The section of Christmas items such as ornaments, light bulbs, placemats and stockings may cause one to become nostalgic for Christmases from long ago. While Richcreek’s does not carry all of the items it used to, it still has a variety of items to choose from.
“I just would like to thank everyone for the business, and I want people to know I plan to be here as long as I can,” Richcreek said.
