A De Soto hardware store owned by the same family since the 1880s will close in a couple of months, its owner says, and a new hardware business will take over the building.
Hamel & Rowe Ace Hardware, 210 N. Main St., will shut its doors in the spring after decades of operating in De Soto.
“We will be open through late May,” owner Steve Rowe said. “I’m just selling the building, not the inventory.”
Rowe said he has five employees.
