MONTCLAIR, NJ — A hardware store in Montclair is closing after more than a century in business, reports say.
Saunders Hardware at 627 Valley Road was established in 1893 and has been serving the Montclair area since then – making it one of the town’s oldest operating businesses. But that will come to an end soon.
“I'm passed retirement age, so my wife wants me to retire – I want to retire - and this was an opportunity, so we took it,” said the store’s current owner, Tom Vultee.
