Almac Hardware is closing
Almac Hardware, at 2 Newkirk Plaza, after umpteen years in this neighborhood, is closing its in-store retail business at the end of the month (and is having a deep discount clearance sale).
They will continue to operate their handyman services from another location nearby and plan also to sell on-line through a website.
Their current website address is www.almachardware.com.
We hate to see them go.
Drop by for some final shopping and to say farewell.
