Life After Hardware Death

Regional Hardware Marketer, Chase Pitkin is closing it's doors. Sad to see, but this chain was owned by a grocery retailer and I suspect it was a distraction from the core business. Chase Pitkin is going the way of so many others before them, but do not dispare. The latest Home Channel News has the announcement that the long dead Hechinger name is being revived as www.Hechinger.com new online retailer of hand and power tools.
Wow! There are so many great old names that could be reincarnated like "Builders Square", "Belknap", "Home Quarters" and more. It may be interesting to see if companies like Home Decor Products resurect any others.
