For those who haven’t heard, the Hickory store has expanded...a lot. What started as a small mail-order catalog company in the late 80s has now fully opened not only North Carolina’s, but one of the
southeast’s (maybe the country’s) largest fully loaded woodworking supply stores.
The word “superstore” implies a certain connotation, and our newly renovated headquarters will not disappoint.
With over 20,000 square feet of floor space for showcasing our vast assortment of products, two classrooms, and demo area, this superstore showroom puts all the woodworking eye candy on display.
May 3rd And 4th The First 50 Customers Through The Door Will Receive A Great Door Prize!
