Every project deserves
tools that won't quit

Ballard Hardware & Co. has been a fixture in Eminence since 1978. What started as a corner store with a commitment to stocking only what works has grown into the region's most trusted destination for hardware, tools, and building supplies.

We're not a big-box chain. We don't move product fast by cutting corners — we move it right. Every item on our shelves is something we'd put in our own shop. That standard has kept our doors open for nearly five decades.

When you walk in, you'll find the same people who remember your last project and the tools you bought for it. That's the kind of place we're building — and it's why families keep coming back, generation after generation.

We don't just sell to this community — we live here. Ballard Hardware & Co. is owned and operated right here in Eminence, and every decision we make is guided by how it affects the people we see at church, at the ballgame, and at the grocery store.

That means we stock what local builders actually need, support local schools and teams, and treat every customer the way we'd want to be treated — with honesty, patience, and a straight answer.
