STIHL Hardware All Stars: Ala., Alaska, Ariz.
The 2021 class of STIHL Hardware Store All Stars represent community-oriented, customer-focused, high-performance hardware-and-building-supply retailing at its finest. From each of the fifty 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 each week, beginning with our high performers in Alabama, Alaska and Arizona:
Alabama
Arab Lumber
The husband-wife team at Arab Lumber managing a thriving business in northern Alabama. He’s a former North American Hardware & Paint Association Young Retailer of the Year. She’s a former nurse who came on board full time in February. Together Trey and Katie Hamilton own Arab Lumber, which prides itself on service. A healthy sporting goods business has successfully introduced hunters to building supplies, and builders to hunting. “We offer the best customer service with good prices and the rest takes care of itself,” said Trey.

Alaska
The Lumberyard
It’s imperative The Lumber Yard have the right products for its customers because getting to Bethel ain’t easy. “Our most unique feature is that we are completely off the road system, isolated, as are all of our local customers,” owner Mike Langlie said. “Everything comes in by barge or plane. As such, we focus on providing the right mix of LBM and hardware items in our store and stocking plenty of inventory for customers.”

Arizona
Page Lumber
Perched atop Manson Mesa at an elevation of 4,300 feet—and 600 feet above major vacation destination Lake Powell— Page, Ariz., has seen a spike in population, and Page Lumber has been there to seize the opportunity. This one-stop shop for all things lumber, building supplies and accessories serves local DIYers, builders and vacationers. Customers can also shop online for the best deals in town.
