Oregon Hardware Store to Celebrate 100th Anniversary

Eugene True Value Hardware in Eugene, Oregon, will celebrate a significant milestone this year—its 100th anniversary.

To celebrate, the store is hosting a centennial weekendlong event that will feature special savings, giveaways and a community celebration. Customers can enter to win a Char-Broil grill, buy a bucket for $1 and receive a discount on all items that fit inside and take advantage of a buy one gallon get one free of paint.

“For a century, Eugene True Value has been more than a hardware store—it’s part of the fabric of this community,” say Lucy and Terry White, owners of Eugene True Value. “We’re grateful to our loyal customers, our dedicated team and the generations of families who have supported us. This milestone belongs to all of us.”

The store will also offer cake and cookies for customers attending the celebration. The store is expecting to host several hundred attendees throughout the weekend.

Eugene True Value opened in downtown Eugene in 1925, founded by Lucy White’s family, the MacLarens. Lucy and her husband, Terry White, bought the store from Lucy’s father in 1981, and today, their son, Doug, helps lead day-to-day operations.

“It’s an honor to carry forward the tradition my parents and grandparents built,” says Doug White, assistant store manager. “We’ll continue delivering the friendly service and expertise Eugene has counted on for 100 years—while we keep evolving to meet today’s needs.”
