Rebuilt at Home
The new store was rebuilt at the site of a fire in 2013 that gutted the Hill business and devastated the community.
The store occupies two floors for a total of 8,500 square feet both at street level and below ground. On the main floor, customers can find the paint department, housewares, cleaning products, pet and party supplies. Downstairs offers the Hello Rental! counter, key cutting, plumbing and electrical, special orders for items such as screens and glass, as well as all the little drawers containing fasteners such as nuts and bolts.
New to Frager’s is “Foliage by Frager’s,” located at 1123 Pennsylvania Ave., a boutique storefront gardening center complimenting the outdoor space.
Come on in and say Hello! to your friends and neighbors and celebrate the Frager’s homecoming. Learn more by visiting the event Facebook page.
