The Deshler Hardware
By Ryan Koppenhofer
If you want to step back in time, you should come to the Deshler Hardware Co. located at 135 Main Street in Deshler, Ohio. The Deshler Hardware Co. has been around since January 1, 1956. They are celebrating fifty-one years of operations!
Many things are sold in this “Do It Best” hardware store including cleaning supplies, sweepers, electrical supplies, building supplies, home and garden items, heating equipment and so much more. They sell a lot of plumbing supplies. The special thing about the Deshler Hardware is that it has a great variety of merchandise.
Gary Allen and his wife Jean own and operate the Deshler Hardware. The first owner of the hardware was Richard Allen. It's still a family operation. Gary and Jean are proud “to offer friendly personal service, a small town hardware atmosphere and over 70,000 items available” for purchase.
The Deshler Hardware was built as a service to the village of Deshler. The hardware store is very old fashioned. It even has wooden floors. The hardware store also has a weighing machine. It has a Pipe Man made out of plumbing pipes, and they even dress him! The outside of the hardware is made from bricks.
Although an “in person” visit is recommended, you may visit the Deshler Hardware online at http://www.deshler.doitbest.com/DoItBest/home.aspx to purchase products.
