Elliot’s Hardware is moving to smaller digs according to a Dallas Morning News article, which could mean the popular hardware store might land in our neighborhood.
The flagship Elliot’s store on Maple Avenue is reportedly up for sale. The article suggests possible relocation to a Ferndale-Northwest Highway shopping center in Lake Highlands or maybe to the vacant Whole Foods on Lower Greenville (note: those suggestions aren’t backed by any evidence so we could also speculate that the former Wal Mart Neighborhood Market at Walnut Hill and Audelia would make a perfect location for a downsized Elliot’s). Lakewood already has a neighborhood hardware store so they don’t really need it.
The real estate broker managing the sale mentions “Park Lane on North Central Expressway, or some other development that may be available a year from now” as an example of what Elliot’s might be looking for. (I know what you’re thinking, Lake Highlands, but I don’t believe our town center will be ready in time).
