Overview

Own a piece of Iowa history with this rare opportunity to purchase the iconic New Providence Hardware Store, one of the oldest continuously operating hardware stores in the state. This unique turnkey commercial property includes the fully stocked hardware business, allowing new owners to step in and start generating income from day one. Shelving, inventory, and fixtures are in place—just open the doors and go to work. Set in a prominent cornerstone building originally constructed in 1863, this property combines historic character with practical functionality. The spacious commercial layout is well-suited for hardware and general retail, with strong visibility and a long-standing presence in the community. An added bonus is the connecting business front, which is already rented, providing an immediate secondary income stream and helping to offset ownership costs. Whether you’re an investor looking for stable cash flow or an owner-operator eager to carry on a proud Iowa tradition, this is a truly special property that doesn’t come along often. Step into history, take over an established business, and make this landmark hardware store your own.
