Ambour Hardware – closing up shop

REDFERN: As reported in our December issue, Ambour Hardware will soon close its doors. After 55 years of serving the community, Joe and Marie Ambour are retiring.

Joe is seeking someone who would like to take on the business and continue to operate as a local hardware store.

He will start discounting items at the beginning of February.

The SSH has received multiple emails from locals expressing their appreciation to Joe and Marie. Ambour Hardware means a lot to residents and workers in the area.

Several people commented on Joe’s expertise and generosity – always willing to discuss a project or help with repairs. Marie’s attention to detail goes hand in hand with patience and good humour.

We will all miss Joe and Marie. Of course, we wish them every happiness in retirement.

If you have any inquiries about the premises or business, or regarding purchase of stock, please contact Joe at the store or phone (02) 8937 0556.
