PROSPERITY — Another successful year of serving the community has put Hamm Hardware & Building Supplies in exclusive company within the independent home improvement industry.

Hardware + Building Supply Dealer (H+BSD), a national publication covering the hardware industry, named Hamm Hardware its 2016 All Star for the state of South Carolina.

Hamm Hardware was the only hardware store in the state, and one of only 50 nationwide, to be selected for All Star status.

The magazine’s editors select their All Stars based on an extensive range of business criteria, including longevity, growth, employee development and retention, creativity and local involvement.

In recognizing Hamm Hardware, H+BSD highlighted its four generations of ownership, its community emergency response team connection and its selection of fire and rescue supplies.

“As we celebrate our 90th anniversary, we’re very honored to receive this recognition and be included in such a select group of successful independent retailers across the country,” said owner Ladison Hamm. “I’m extremely proud that we’ve been able to serve this community over multiple generations by meeting all of their hardware and building supply needs.”

Hamm Hardware is backed by the strength of its status as a member-owner of Do it Best Corp., a US-based hardware, lumber and building materials co-op with more than 3,800 independently owned locations in United States and 54 other countries.
