Shouldn't this be under the category of Advertising rather than News.

From the text:
“Stig and I are both very creative, innovative, involved people — we've got a lot of great ideas,” said Richard Crevelt modestly.
By the way, Stig’s wife is the “Amazing” Holly Nybo who won the open woman’s division of the Canadian Ironman competition in 1995. She is also a Masters swimming coach extraordinaire.

No. This article should be under the category of public service announcement. A local hardware store has, more than once, saved my skin as a homeowner.

Great article.
This store is a local treasure. Please patronize them. Then they will be there when you need them.
They are also stocking non-toxic ways of controlling rodents and other pests.

This is one of the best hardware stores. They have lots of things that the larger stores do not have. They are also very helpful.

I’ll admit to being traumatized when I heard the business had been sold,,,,I burst out crying because I didn’t know what was going to happen. I rely on this place. I am often there many times a day..I’m an old timer and some of my house is pre 19th century! I fix things myself..over the years my schooling at PV hardware has made me a pretty competent fixer...I am thrilled that Richard and Stig and all the others are there to continue the handholding and mentoring. I am so grateful.
