CUSTOMER PROFILE

Community Roots Since opening, Hunny-Do’s Hardware has been warmly welcomed by the community. Brenda and Oren, along with their two children who help run the store, have made it a family affair. “It’s something we can call ours, a family-owned and family-run business,” Brenda says. Their store is a testament to the power of local entrepreneurship combined with a strong distributor who is willing to put in the work to help them thrive. “Brenda knows this community, and she knows what people are going to buy and what they’re not going to buy,” Oren says. “That made a big difference.” From helping them with the assortment planning for inventory to providing a floor plan, Blish-Mize has supported Hunny-Do’s Hardware since its inception, and the team has been with them every step of the way. “Blish-Mize is made up of great people,” Oren says. “Since we started working with them, I’ve learned a lot about them and how they’re still a family-run business, and that’s something we want to build with our store.”

With the help of Blish-Mize, Brenda Richard and Oren Hawksford opened Hunny-Do’s Hardware in less than six months.
