Supply Chain Update
Thank you for your continued patience as we work diligently with our vendors to minimize supply chain disruption. Our shipping partners are prioritizing smaller items and holiday goods, which means longer wait times for larger items. We hope these disruptions will stabilize soon, but we apologize and thank you for bearing with us until then.
Center Hardware & Supply Co., Inc. (“Center Hardware”), located at 3003 3rd Street in the Dogpatch neighborhood, was established in 1946. Its roots, however, date back to the 1880s with origins stemming from two San Francisco hardware stores: PA Smith Hardware & Glass and Ocean View Hardware.
