Northern Hardware celebrates 95 years

Northern Hardware is celebrating 95 years in Prince George.

Kelly Green is a fourth-generation owner and says their strong relationship with the community has been their best key to survival in an age where big box stores reign supreme.

Celebrations continue Saturday where MLA Shirley Bond with Mayor Shari Green will be on hand to present a heritage award with the heritage society.

In 1919 when the store opened, Henry Ford stepped down as president of his company, World War I had just ended, and women in the united states were granted the right to vote.

It is also 45 years before the Home Hardware franchise the store is a part of came into existence.
