Adds to growing Texas store count
October 1, 2024, DALLAS, Texas – With its acquisition of South Texas Hardware’s three-location chain, Nation’s Best expands its growing network of locations in its home state, bringing its total location count across the US to 63.
“South Texas Hardware operates three neighborhood hardware stores in Castroville, Lytle, and Somerset, all situated just south and west of San Antonio,” says Tina Green, regional vice president of operations at Nation’s Best. “For nearly 40 years, this family-run business has excelled at offering great, small-town customer service, supporting their communities, and growing their business. We are honored to carry that legacy forward and are proud to welcome the South Texas Hardware team to the Nation’s Best family.”
Known for reliable and comprehensive hardware stores, South Texas Hardware serves each community with a wide array of products and services, including paint, patio furniture, plants, tools, convenience lumber, and building materials. Owners JJ and Annie Villareal, David Forman and the rest of the company’s knowledgeable staff provide excellent customer service to its customer base, making them a go-to destination for DIYers and pro tradespeople alike.
Green adds, “We love being a part of these smaller communities with strong population growth trends, and we look forward to offering the South Texas Hardware staff the rich benefits that Nation’s Best is able to offer.”
As part of Nation’s Best’s strategy, South Texas Hardware will maintain operations under its existing name. Its team will continue overseeing company operations alongside Nation’s Best, providing the strategic and financial support necessary to drive optimal growth and profitability.
