Building in Big Springs Kansas For Sale

The Hardware store was originally a 31 x 32 sqft building home to quite an eclectic business at the time with the sellers offering not only your typical tools and small grocery items for sale, but they even built and sold custom violins.  The Tool Barn hosted local entertainers and drew in plenty of visitors by offering up barbeque for sale to attract passersby hoping to make a pit stop on Highway 40 before continuing on their way.

As business grew, so did the building and in 1996 the owners expanded the hardware store by adding on another 60 x 40 square feet metal building for traditional retail space and that is the current structure as it stands today.  The building is incredible condition with no history of leakage or damage.  The roof has withstood numerous Kansas storms and remains in immaculate condition.

The store has been loved and cherished by many in and around Big Springs and was even named as one of the Top Ten Hardware stores in the entire state of Kansas according to the website Best Thinks KS : https://bestthingsks.com/hardware-stores/
