Mills Hardware

Even though this store is not as well stocked for those hard to find items desert dwellers need as Mountain Hardware in Wrightwood is, I do appreciate it's hardware section very much. It's extensive and having been acquired years back when the stores previous cheapskate owner tried to monopolize the local industry by purchasing the failing H and E franchise it's one of two last holdovers from Anderson. Fortunate enough for Phelan he's gone but unfortunately he left another frustrating trend behind, closed on Sunday. Lucky for us sinners that would rather fix our water pipes when they break, even on Sunday, Mountain is open and just up the hill. Maybe since Anderson is gone, and our community finally growing with new business, Mountain Hardware will see the opportunity and move in to the old empty Rite Aid store.
