Hardware Retailing The Industry's Source for Insights and Information
The Aubuchon Company has agreed to purchase two Wolf Family Hardware stores, owned by Chris Wolf, in Woodbury and Watertown, Connecticut.
“Chris has dedicated his life to hardware, carrying forward a tradition that began with his Uncle Kenny and reflects a deep-rooted commitment to community,” says William E. Aubuchon, IV, Aubuchon president and CEO. “Over the past 25 years, he has expanded Wolf Family Hardware into a highly respected name throughout Western Connecticut. We’re honored to build on that legacy and welcome the Wolf team into our growing family of stores.”
The stores will continue to operate under their existing names following a settlement on July 8. With the acquisition, the Aubuchon Company will operate 130 stores across 10 states.
“It’s been an incredible 25-year journey growing our Woodbury and Watertown stores and working alongside such a dedicated team,” Wolf says. “Many of our employees feel like family, which makes this decision all the more emotional. But I take comfort knowing they’ll be in the hands of another multi-generational family business that truly understands the value of people.”
