The business was originally located on the North West corner of the 3rd street and Main Street intersections in Delta. The original building was a 2 story structure with the main floor serving as the hardware store and the 2nd floor was the Anna-Dora Opera House. This building burned down and was replaced by a single story building that served as the hardware store until September 2006. This building measure 50ft wide by 120ft deep when originally built. In 1990 the building was doubled in size. Don Kendrick began working for the Delta Hardware Company in 1952 later purchasing the business in 1971. He owned the business until 1981 when Jim Kendrick purchased the business from him. Due to the growth of the business Jim and Jonni expanded the store in 1990 and this expansion served the business well for the next 15 years but more space became necessary and they choose to relocate the business to the current location at 121 West Gunnison River Dr. This location gives the business over 25000 sq ft of sales space. While the business has grown over the past 100 years, the dedication to serving the community and the customers has been a constant throughout the years and will remain so for years to come. As Delta Hardware gets ready to celebrate its 100th year anniversary, we would like to take the time to express our heartfelt gratitude to all of our loyal customers and friends.
