A community staple in the South Lyon area is closing.

Locally-owned Peter's True Value Hardware store, located at 415 East Lake Street, is closing in September after more than a decade in business. It’s said to be another sign of the times.

The news is bittersweet for both the owners and longtime customers - who described it as the “end of an era”. Many cited the knowledgeable staff, and the quality, personalized service – calling it a loss for the community.

In a social media post, the owners thanked everyone for all of their support and business over the years.

A liquidation sale is underway now.

Another location in Milford at 3455 West Highland Road/M-59 will remain open.
