Here are the last two in the latest class of STIHL 2022 Hardware Store All Stars that represent community-oriented, customer-focused, high-performance hardware-and-building-supply retailing at its finest. From each of the 50 United States, HBSDealer recognized an All-Star performer.
You can read about all 50 honorees here in the digital issue of HBSDealer. Additionally, HBSDealer.com will highlight a handful of honorees one batch at a time. Two 2022 high performers from Wisconsin and Wyoming are featured below.
Wisconsin
An Orgill dealer, Klingbeil, which began in 1939, is in its fourth-generation ownership today. From power center and small engine repair to hardware, lumber and equipment rental, their website showcases all their services. Owner Pete Klingbeil said, “be good at what you do and have fun doing it seems to be our mantra. Everyone at Klingbeil Lumber acts like a family and works like a team, this is what makes us grow and be profitable.”
Wyoming
For nearly 70 years, Howshar Hardware has been providing Guernsey with the products and services they need. Their niche categories serving nearby railroad and coal industries, along with their inventory geared toward the National Guard and Air Force training bases, make Howshar a community asset. Serving on the economic and tourism board, owner Charles Howshar said his mission is, “to serve the area beyond the four walls of the hardware store.”
