W.T. Patrick - Founder

W.T. Patrick opened a general store on the corner of Queen St. and Back River Road in 1895.

Through the years the business diversified from a general store towards a concentration in hardware and glass services that continues today.

Patrick's Hardware and Glass is now celebrating 116 years in business, and has grown from six to twenty six employees. Cary E. Patrick Jr. is now the sole shareholder of Patrick's Hardware and Glass and is proud to have continued the success of the business established by his grandfather.

Our third-generation Patrick family is moving into its third century of providing quality hardware service to builders, tradesmen, homeowners and the government. There's no customer too large or too small. We service customers from RIchmond to Suffolk. When you've been in business since 1895, it's a good bet that your products and service keep them coming back.

Our Mission

Patrick's Hardware will provide quality products and customer service at competitive prices with a focus on customer service. We will strive to provide our customers with the information they need to complete and succeed with their projects.
