All of this an only a cent and a half???
On November 9, 2007, WiseBuys Stores, Inc., completed its acquisition of Patrick Hackett Hardware Company. Hacketts, one of the nation's oldest retailers established in 1830, is a full line department store specializing in name brand merchandise and full service hardware. At the time of the acquisition, Hacketts had five locations featuring brand name clothing for men, women, and children, and a large selection of athletic, casual, and work footwear. Hacketts also carries domestics, home decor, gifts, seasonal merchandise and sporting goods. Hacketts full service hardware department features traditional hardware, tool, plumbing, paint and electrical departments.
Hacketts will be the surviving operating entity with all of the WiseBuys stores to be converted to and run under the "Hacketts" brand. After the store conversions, Hacketts will operate nine locations including Canton, Gouverneur, Hamilton, Massena, Ogdensburg, Potsdam, Pulaski, Tupper Lake, and Watertown - all in New York.
