A well known name in the hardware store industry has brought life back to an otherwise empty space in the Scottdale community. On December 1st, 2022, Doug Landers opened the doors to the new Scottdale True Value in the former Pater True Value location on the corner of M-139 and Niles Road, making it his third hardware store and first in Berrien County.
The community is invited to the two-day grand opening celebration on Friday, May 5th and Saturday, May 6th, with the official ribbon cutting ceremony happening at Noon on Friday, May 5th.
Landers, whose family has owned and operated Landers Hardware in Bangor since 1950 and Wolverine Hardware in South Haven since 2007, saw an excellent opportunity to connect to the community in Berrien County with this location.
“We love being part of the community and hearing from our customers about how happy they are to have a hardware store back open solidifies that this was the right location at the right time,” says Landers. “Joe Pater did a fantastic job of building the relationships with the community while operating Pater True Value. Our goal now is to connect our neighbors from ‘just around the corner’ to the high-level customer service and relationships that make our Bangor and South Haven locations so successful and set us apart from the rest.”
“For sixty (60) years the residents of Scottdale and the surrounding communities have had a hardware store for quick trips, major project purchases, and general household items. Even going a handful of months without that staple in the community was impactful, we applaud Doug, his family, and his team for investing in Berrien County and reopening the otherwise vacant building,” says Arthur Havlicek, President and CEO of the Southwest Michigan Regional Chamber.
Activities planned for the two-day celebration include the return of the popular 20% off ‘anything you can fit in the bucket’ sale, hourly door prizes, and chances to win a pressure washer, a DeWalt Drill Combo, and a Weber Spirit II. Kids will have the chance to get their faces painted on Saturday from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m., and hourly magic shows with comedian John Dudley on Saturday from 11:00 – 4:00 p.m.
Additionally, MB Creative, located inside Scottdale True Value will be hosting their own grand opening celebration featuring delicious treats, giveaway items, and make-and-take forever floral arrangements.
