True Value Hardware in Crookston is under new ownership. Scott Maves has taken over the business, which will be renamed Scott’s True Value.
Maves owns the building and now takes over the business from Sheryl and Dean Adams and said he’s learning the business. “Stepping in the footsteps of Fuji (Lerum, former owner of True Value),” said Maves. “It’s time to take over and learn a little bit about the hardware business. Getting organized, getting to see a lot of people I haven’t seen for quite a while. Enjoying the hardware business, so stop on in.”
Maves said he’s been learning the ordering process and getting a handle on the things that need to be done. They’ll also have deals coming up for the holiday season, even as they deal with shortages due to COVID-19. “We have the Black Friday sale this week, so buy one get one free pain,” said Maves. “Then we have Small Business Saturday, so we’ll be around, and then, we have a Christmas ad coming out next month.”
Maves, who was retired, said it’s nice to have something new to do. “Thank you to the Adams family for helping me out, helping me get in the business,” said Maves. “God bless Fuji, and let’s carry on.”
