So Long, Mountain Park Ace Hardware

After more than four decades of selling hardware, tools and more, Mountain Park Ace Hardware will close its doors for the last time in a few weeks.

Employee Ashley Baird said the closing date probably will be April 28, but that's not yet certain.

The owner, Charles Biddox, had tried for a year to sell the place, Baird said. Finding no buyer, he told employees it was a "business decision" to close the store.

Biddox owns another Ace Hardware and a paint store in South Carolina.
