After more than 60 years, this central Ohio business is closing its doors for good

Since 1947, Gahanna Hardware has offered a little bit of everything from its home at 73 N. High St.

But like all good things, even this Olde Gahanna fixture is coming to an end.

According to a statement from owner Twyla Edgell posted to Gahanna Hardware’s website, the long-standing business plans to close its doors for good in a few weeks’ time.

“First and foremost, I want to thank the Gahanna community for their loyal support during my 8 years of ownership. It is not easy to compete with big box stores, but so many of you were familiar faces on a daily or weekly basis. I appreciate that more than I can say,” the statement reads. “My goal has always been to retire closer to my WV family and I have quietly been looking for a buyer for a few years. I was unsuccessful. That, coupled with inflation, a poor economy and serious supply chain issues, it has become necessary to just walk away.”

The statement noted that the store has faced supply issues for the past 18 months, forcing it to source some items from larger chain stores.

According to Edgell’s statement, Gahanna Hardware will close at the end of January. A specific date isn’t provided.
