History of Hardware & General

Hardware & General Supplies Limited began operation in 1960 from a single corner store.

50 years later the business has expanded along Winbourne Road, Harbord Road and Pittwater Road into 20 specialist sales centres in Brookvale.

Further to this growth the business has expanded, covering the greater Sydney area to 5 other strategically located stores; Peakhurst, Marayong, Mona Vale, Hornsby and Dural.

This has allowed us to offer improved service and delivery to our customers over the entire Sydney region.
