The Cape Breton community of Port Hawkesbury, N.S., is getting a Home Hardware Building Centre, SaltWire reports. The MacDonald family, dealer-owners of HHBC locations in Port Hood and Whycocomagh, is opening a third next spring. Port Hawkesbury has been without a Home Hardware since the closure of a previous store in 2014.
“Our parents Pauline and J.R. started the North End Home Hardware [in Port Hood] 45 years ago,” co-owner Melanie MacDonald told SaltWire. “Fourteen years ago, we took on Whycocomagh. Our parents, and Daniel and I and our sister Kelly are all involved—it truly is a family business.”
