After acquiring South Texas Hardware and its three stores, Nation’s Best has increased its total store count to 63. Tina Green, regional vice president of operations at Nation’s Best, says South Texas Hardware operates three neighborhood hardware stores in Castroville, Lytle and Somerset, Texas.

South Texas Hardware serves each community with a wide array of products and services, including paint, patio furniture, plants, tools, convenience lumber and building materials. Owners JJ and Annie Villareal, David Forman and the rest of the company’s knowledgeable staff provide excellent customer service to its customer base, making them a go-to destination for DIYers and pro tradespeople alike.
“We love being a part of these smaller communities with strong population growth trends,” Green says. “We look forward to offering the South Texas Hardware staff the rich benefits that Nation’s Best is able to offer.”
As part of Nation’s Best’s strategy, South Texas Hardware will maintain operations under its existing name. Its team will continue overseeing company operations alongside Nation’s Best, providing the strategic and financial support necessary to drive optimal growth and profitability.
