Davis Hardware, a west Pasco County landmark, has closed its doors after about 75 years in business.
Davis Hardware has changed hands a few times throughout the years, most recently it was owned by Howard Dubrow.
But not everyone knows it is closed, some customers were surprised at the news.
“I feel bad, ” said former customer Bob Neubauer. “Free enterprise — I hate to see him go.”
“They have nowhere else to find that little special something for their house,” said former customer Rick Albrecht.
But the former owner says that was the problem, and it’s hard to run a business selling dollar items here and there.
