About
Corinth
Hardware
A local hardware store with a hometown feel
Les Archie, Owner
Fittingly enough, the idea to open a hardware store came about during a Boy Scout campout.
I was sitting around a fire with a friend, talking about the void left when Biggers Hardware went out of business.
(If you’re not from around here, Biggers was THE local hardware store. It opened in 1918 and closed for good in 2018.)
I was born and raised in Corinth, and some of my favorite memories as a kid were going to Biggers. You didn’t just go there to get a hammer and some epoxy. It was an experience. A relationship. People gathered and talked and shared information and swapped stories. (And I charged stuff on my parents’ account…)
Later, as an adult, I knew I could go there and the people who worked there would bend over backwards to help me. The knowledge they had — to tell me what I needed to do and what I needed to do it with — was incredible.
That’s what I want Corinth Hardware to be for our community. And that’s the kind of service I want to provide my customers. I don’t want you to just come to Corinth Hardware; I want you to come see me and my team. At the end of the day, I’ll do my dead level best to take care of everybody that walks through our door.
