Did they move the hardware store into the tool rental building? I was under the impression that the hardware business closed to make way for a CVS store. Willow Hardware was a great family-run business that I think everyone in Lorain did business with.
We just weren’t sure where you meant! It’s all good 😀 I think a lot of Willow Hardware’s inventory ended up in a storage facility, but it would have been a smart move to sell it off little by little at Willow Rental. I know we always went to Willow Hardware first. It was worth it to support a local family owned & operated business.

Willow – on Oberlin, the east side of the street by where Ponderosa used to be!

I have updated the post title to correctly read “Willow Rental”! My apologies to the Willow family and to all the native Lorainites for my error!
