Longtime hardware store expands footprint at Park Road Shopping Center

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Blackhawk Hardware has opened the first phase of its 12,000-square-foot expansion project. The locally owned and managed ACE Hardware store is in the process of expanding its footprint by 40%. 

That includes renovated walk-out basement, which recently opened to shoppers.

The store has been a fixture at Park Road Shopping Center since Jim and Barbara Wilkerson opened it in January 1977. Their son, Andy, is a co-owner as well.

“Though the store expansion is still a work in progress, we’re excited to welcome customers to our new downstairs space,” said Andy Wilkerson.
