Read this excerpt from Jacob Wheeler’s story, “Reinventing Northwoods Hardware” which appeared in the Glen Arbor Sun in July 2010:
A town without a hardware store — in a community filled with do-it-yourself craftsmen and builders — is a family without a water source. Her citizens would have to drive for 30 miles to buy the simplest of supplies — continually thirsty.
Thankfully, Glen Arbor has avoided that pitfall. Jeff and Georgia Gietzen and Steve and Dee Shuker closed earlier this month on their acquisition of Northwoods Hardware, on M-22 just south of town. They were introduced in February by the wise realtor Rob Serbin, who saw ownership sparks in the eyes of both couples. Serbin had sold the Gietzens their home, and helped the Shukers sell theirs.
