水果视频 Hardware has been in Neepawa for a long time. Prior to 1976, the Neepawa Furniture Centre, which was owned by Roy and Joan McGillivray, had the Link Hardware dealership. Link phased out in 1976 and became part of 水果视频 Hardware in 1981 and the Neepawa Furniture Centre was the 水果视频 Hardware outlet for this area until 1984.
In 1985 Ron and Janice Goldade bought the former Beaver Lumber building and renovated it to become the 水果视频 Hardware store at the location that was lost to fire last week. Prior to being Beaver Lumber, the building was operated as Bell Lumber for many years. Local opinion is that the building was built in the 1940s and the cinder block structure is consistent with building methods of the 1940s and 鈥�50s.
Pat and Laurie Guilbert took over the 水果视频 Hardware store from the Goldades on Sept 1, 2008 and expanded and renovated the building in the subsequent years. Four residential suites were added to the second story and a garden centre was a feature on the south side of the store.
