Hartington, Neb., lies 60 miles west of Sioux City, Iowa, and 20 miles south of the South Dakota state line. This town of 1,600 people in the northeast corner of Nebraska has been the home of Kruse True Value since April 1990. Gary and Lisa Kruse purchased a Hardware Hank location and changed their affiliation to True Value to establish their own image and reputation.
Prior to purchasing his own store, Gary worked 12 years for his uncle selling and servicing appliances.
