The Gardiner Family Tradition of Helpful Service
and Honest Value Began in 1955
The Gardiner Family wishes to remember their brother and son, Mark A Gardiner who passed away on May 13, 2009
At the age of 16, Bob Gardiner began working part-time at Cross Hardware in Skowhegan. Even then, he dreamed of owning his own store. After years of learning and experience, he opened Damariscotta Hardware in 1955 on Main Street, in the old site of Lincoln County Hardware. Customer service and good work ethics as well as providing a quality product were always of top priority to Bob. A fire in 1960 during a blizzard caused Gardiner to close and build a new store on Upper Main Street in Damariscotta. In time the successful business grew and needed again to expand and move.
