Built from Experience. Designed for Community.

Our Roots

A Family Legacy in Hardware

Tony grew up in a family deeply rooted in the hardware industry. Over the years, the family opened six stores, each one becoming a trusted local hardware store in Kloof and surrounding areas, built on the same foundation of hard work, reliable service, and strong community ties. While not all of those stores are still open, each one played a role in shaping what Hardware Etc is today. A store with heart, experience and an unwavering commitment to quality.

Why Here, Why Now?

Meeting a Real Need in Our Community

The village mall has always had a place for DIY, but over time, that space was lost. As the area grew, the need for a reliable, modern hardware store became clearer than ever. Hardware Etc was created to meet that need with friendly service, a wide selection, and expert support for every customer who walks through the door.
