The folks at Robertson Home Hardware in the Heights are heading off into the sunset after 90 years of service.
“Keith, Larry and their team have been a huge part of the Heights community and they will be missed,” wrote the Heights Merchants Association in a post online. “Thank you for your many years of service in our community.”
Robertson Home Hardware, 4052 East Hastings St., will close at the end of the month.
